| Individual competency is ensured through initial and continuing education, licensure and credentialing activities, and periodic performance evaluations. |
| A licensure examination tests more than technical knowledge, although that is a large part of it. |
| Alabama state law allows licensure agencies to adopt and promulgate rules governing professional practices. |
| This may have led these companies to de-emphasize professional licensure as a qualification. |
| Therefore it is recommended that you check with the individual state dental board where licensure is desired to obtain the most up-to-date information. |
| Permits may be issued in certain professions where an applicant for licensure meets specific requirements. |
