It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the U.S. had more distinct credentials than all other countries combined, depending on how they're counted. The U.S. education ecosystem seems to uniquely proliferate "high school diplomas, postsecondary degrees and certificates, registered apprenticeships, certifications, licenses, alternative degree programs and skills training bootcamps." That said, the purpose of Credential Engine's report (36 page PDF) - to build a transparent credential marketplace - is probably a good one.
