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.
