post to get the most out of your time here on Sailnet. It would help if you said where you are located, and what kind of certification are you looking for.
Are you looking for an RYA Yatchmaster, which is a certification that is pretty much recognized world wide and would allow you to work as crew or captain on sailboat deliveries in much of the world, except the USA, which requires a USCG Captain's license to work as a delivery captain.
Or are you just looking for a bareboat certification, like the USAA or ASA certifications often required by charter boat companies for bareboat chartering.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
