A certifcate takes a year to a year and a half. The associate degree a little longer, customarily about two years or four full semesters. Depending on what you want to do with the credential, it all depends. Sometimes you can get a certificate as well as an associate degree, usually the certificate comes first. Get a certificate and if you want to continue it would only take about one more full semester to acquire the associate degree. either way, if you get one or the other they are both outstanding academic credentials, that hopefully can spring board you toward a fulfilling job or getting your bachelors degree. good luck!
A degree is time at school and a diploma. A certificate is helpful, but is more like a technical training school.
