Texas already has a couple of Master degree programs in Paralegal education / certification....I may have the terms wrong, I only know only a small bit as my wife is the paralegal.
As soliloquy said, there is confusion between completing a certificate program and being certified. A certificate program is a set of courses or one large course that can be taken for credit or non-credit. Being certified usually means that you either meet the requirements for certification by a professional organization or a governing board. This usually entails passing an exam, but sometimes all it takes is completing an approved program or work experience and applying for certification from the organization. Being certified is a lot like being a licensee or a registrant. Having a certificate is a step below having a whole degree. The best comparison I can think for your background is having a certificate in law enforcement from a college and being a certified master peace officer.
By the way, I just found out that Texas is now requiring that telecommunications officers be licensed.
