Certification by the end of the year

[Roxiegirl 0]

I just finished MEPAP1 and in the chats they would talk about how we needed to get certified by the end of the year. For me thats not possible because I neeed to get some english credits, so I was wondering if getting certified as an activity assistant would be any advantage to me?
