The Value of Professional Licensure

Each step in the path to professional licensure is critical. It is a path that ensures individuals practice in a manner that protects the health, safety, and welfare of the public by satisfying qualifications in education, work experience, and exams.

In addition to education and experience requirements, engineers and surveyors must typically pass two exams to become professionally licensed.
