Dear Amanda, 

Could you help me understand what for you the difference is between a 
certification (in the US sense) and an accreditation?

I know there is a cultural difference (years ago I learned from a British 
colleague that in the UK „certified“ means ‘certified insane’ as you are 
saying). 

So you use the word „accredited“. I believe in the US they use „certified“ for 
that very situation. True?
(by the way here is a non-native English speaker from Germany asking).

And I like your quote with your three distinctions.

Marai
