Associate..i know. Bachelor...i know. But what does it mean when it says 'certificate' for highest degree obtained? Could that be like a vocational or a 1-yr business school? Hurry...my fingers are posed to type.

Some schools or employers offer courses that end in a certificate. This is very common with professional/office-type fields like Management, Accounting, Human Resources, etc.
It's similar to a degree, but much less.
You can get one after a semester's worth of classes. But depending on the school or field, they can be a good way to build toward the degree (it's if the school honors the certificate as credits).

You are correct! Vocational school or Business school will grant a Certificate of Completion, at the end of the course.

A certificate often represents a professional accomplishment or additional training received. For instance, I work in the hospitality industry and I hold certifications for programs on food safety management and for state alcohol regulations.
