Make the next check specific

  1. Identify the exact occupation and state or local jurisdiction where you intend to work.
  2. Find the authority’s current official website and the correct license category.
  3. Check education, approved-program, supervised-practice and examination requirements directly.
  4. Ask the board about your circumstances before enrolling; a school certificate and an occupational license are separate.
