From a reader...
Leaving aside the general semi-literacy of most American
"educators", there is precedent for the use of "certificate"

Upon the Waters_:
The story, which like just about all of Kipling is worth
reading, is to be found in _The Day's Work_.

Then the engineers' mess - where the oilcloth tables
are - joyfully took him to its bosom, and for the rest
of that voyage the company was richer by the unpaid
services of a highly certificated engineer.
