Pre-approval of your licensing application is required. For pre-approval, applicants must:

• complete license requirements—
  • education
  • experience
  • training
• submit an application using our online application and the required fee using our online application: Occupational Licensing Electronic Application (OLEA).

Upon receiving an approval letter, the applicant will need to:

• make an appointment with a registered Test Center to take the exam - additional testing fees established by each CBT center may apply.
• some test centers do not offer fee refunds.

Retesting by CBT after failing a written test is allowed, so long as your application is in an approved status.
