 I prefer to meet both of the candidates because it is not necessary that aa candidate having the master degree or a professional certificate is the suitable for the job, may he/she don't have the required skills which is necessary for the required job or may be he/she have some attitude problems or many others reasons etc. It is better to meet both of them before taking any decision because selecting a candidate before meeting of the all the short listed candidate also shows the biasness.

I think both are good

you can check for more skills could be required in future like IT or communications Skills

but i would select   professional certificate

professional certificate  test  real work environment  and what the best professional act in nowadays

Academic like Masters do not have real work actions and examples
