Rhode Island Licensed Occupations

Rhode Island Licensed Occupations A LICENSE is formal permission, usually from the state, to engage in a specified occupation. CERTIFICATION is recognition granted, usually by a non-government agency, to an individual who has met certain qualifications. REGISTRATION is a very general term indicating that the title is controlled or that an individual in a given occupation must register with a designated agency. The terms "licensed", "certified" and "registered" are commonly used interchangeably. "Teacher certification", for example, is actually a license, as is a "registered professional engineer." This file deals only with licenses. Using this Information Individuals with questions about license requirements should contact the issuing agency. Contact information is included with the information on each license. The Labor Market Information Unit does not have any information other than that included in the summary. License requirements for a given occupation may fill many pages of legislation and regulations. They have been summarized for this list of Rhode Island Licensed Occupations and some detail had to be omitted or modified. The Labor Market Information Unit is indebted to the licensing agencies and their staffs, for providing information, for reviewing the preliminary text, and for patiently answering many questions and explaining details.
