What is Licensure?

A license is an official authorization from the appropriate governmental agency to grant 'permission to practice' a given occupation which involves a high level of specialized skill. Licensing is a well-established method of regulation to ensure pubic safety, adherence to codes, and competence. Licensing is often granted through a professional body or a licensing board composed of advanced practitioners who oversee the applications for licenses. This often involves accredited training and examinations, but varies a great deal for different occupations. After obtaining an initial license, continued professional development is typically required for re-licensure/recertification.
