Professional titles
A degree targets a field of study; a professional title targets a named occupation. It is for those who want to enter it — first job, career change, promotion — and is assessed through a workplace simulation before a panel of practitioners.

How a title is awarded
Through a workplace simulation before a panel of practitioners, and a professional portfolio recording what you actually did. Not through a written exam: an occupation is proven by practising it.
