Contact the appropriate occupational licensure or certification organization and ask:
- What are the testing, education and other requirements to achieve licensure or certification?
- Can graduates from this school be considered for licensure or certification?
- What percent of all candidates who apply for licensure or certification are able to qualify?
- What percent of the graduates of this school who applied for licensure or certification have qualified?
