Mixology Specialist Certificate?

You got it because you took 11 skill classes (although only mixology classes should count)
You now also have a trait which enables you to join the mixologist career (at level 6)

Must be a glitch that she got the certificate then. I did have her take quite a few skill classes, but only for Photography and Gardening (and she's the only sim that I've had take any skill classes yet, so it couldn't have come from another sim in the household).

It doesn't seem to matter which classes you sit in on. Got mine for Pet Training and Selvadoradan Culture and another for Parenting and Media Production

DU has not had all its bugs corrected yet. My household inventories are still full of degrees and whatnot that can't be deleted.

Yay for half-baked features!

I got one for sitting in on robotic classes. I don't think I should let my sims use the feature until its fixed unless I want all my sims to get the certificate. Or count to make sure they only go to a certain number of classes. Hope they fix this.

Good, it's still working then. You get the Mixology Specialist Certificate for taking 11 skill classes. The certificate's purpose is to give your Sim the same kind of boost for the Mixologist career that other careers get from university degrees. It's not limited to mixology classes and that's a good thing, since it means that maxing the mixology skill doesn't prevent you from earning the certificate.

There are no certificates for other careers because most of them have university degrees. The only other full-time careers that don't have university degrees are E-Sports Gamer and Professional Athlete. Their career boosts come from reaching the top level of the university E-Sports team and Sports team.

I have to disagree. It just doesn’t make sense for my sim to go to 11 parenting classes and then suddenly become a mixology specialist somehow.

I agree it doesn’t make sense from a gameplay perspective, but it was probably much easier for them to do it this way instead of automatically sending every Sim with a level 10 Mixology skill a certificate as soon as you install Discover University.

I personally don’t mind. In fact, I wish we had more certificates.

A better solution, imo, would have been to give Sims with level 10 Mixology skill an option to just buy the certificate (since classes would have cost money anyway). I don't like my sims getting something they didn't intentionally "earn". Even if it is the intended functionality (which I personally haven't seen that confirmed, so if someone could point me to where it has been, it would be helpful), the fact that it doesn't make sense from a gameplay perspective kind of makes it feel like cheating, and I prefer to play without cheating.

That's odd, but I do have one idea, has anyone in the household died in your game? I don't know if they changed this but in a past Sims game when a sim died their stuff in their personal inventory went to another sim in the same household.
