**URI:** ceterms:CredentialType
**Label:** Credential Type
**Definition:** Type of credential as defined by an authoritative body for use within an officially regulated qualification system.
**Comment:** Examples include various qualifications such as generic types of degrees, diplomas and certificates that are defined with official standing in many countries with regulations concerning who can offer them and what is required to earn them. They are often referenced against the qualification framework for the relevant jurisdiction.
**Usage Note:** To be used as the value of the credentialType property with the nearest matching subclass of ceterms:Credential used as the value of the type property. The CredentialType allows similar credentials from different jurisdictions to be identified, compared and contrasted; the Credential Class allows grouping of broadly similar credentials.
