Licensing Bodies

Licensing bodies are organizations authorized to set standards and grant official permission, or licenses, to professionals within specific fields. They ensure practitioners meet required qualifications, follow ethical practices, and maintain competence. By doing so, licensing bodies protect the public’s safety and trust, regulating industries such as healthcare, engineering, and law. Think of them as quality gatekeepers—certifying that professionals are qualified and adhere to industry standards before they can legally practice.
