licensure examinations

Licensure examinations are official tests that individuals must pass to legally practice certain professions, such as medicine, law, teaching, or engineering. These exams ensure that practitioners have the necessary knowledge, skills, and understanding of standards to safely and competently perform their roles. Passing the exam grants a license or certification, which is a formal recognition of their qualification to serve the public. The process helps maintain professional integrity and protect consumers by verifying that practitioners meet established competence levels before practicing independently.
