Certifications are usually earned from a professional society or educational institute, not the government. However, a government agency can decree a certification is required by law for a person to be allowed to perform a task or job.
When The Vampire Diaries premiered on The CW Television Network, on September 10, 2009, it attracted the largest audience of any series since the network began in 2006.
The series, a spinoff of âThe Vampire Diariesâ set in New Orleans but mostly shot in suburban Atlanta (where one street of Conyers, Ga., has been dressed to stand in for the French Quarter), is the CWâs best-performing new series.
