What should a PLC certification prep pack include?

It should map current public objectives to explanations, runnable tasks, fault diagnosis, varied practice, timed mock assessment and feedback that names the weak competency instead of only reporting a score.

Does completing a PLC prep pack make me certified?

No. Completion records preparation activity on this platform. Certification is awarded only by the relevant issuing body after its own eligibility and assessment requirements are met.
