Professional Licensure and Certification Disclosure

Northwood Technical College offers education programs that are designed to meet the educational requirement that lead to licensure or certification that may be required for employment in certain professions. Northwood Tech makes these required disclosures to current and prospective students. If you as a student desire to seek employment in a state other than Wisconsin, it is recommended that you seek advice on license or certification in that state prior to beginning any educational program.

In addition to acquiring a postsecondary credential, some states may require work experience. In some instances, educational requirements may be waived, in part, with appropriate work experience. Many licenses require an individual to successfully pass an additional national or state administered examination. In still other cases, a criminal conviction may disqualify an individual from seeking a professional license despite the successful completion of the educational and work requirements. Residency and age restrictions may also exist. Some states recognize military training and experience. Additionally, out-of-state students seeking to enroll in a program leading to professional licensure or certification need to discuss this with a Northwood Tech counselor at your admissions meeting to discuss enrollment and professional licensure options available. It is highly recommended you also contact the state in which you plan to practice to verify any state requirements before beginning your program.

Students may view the disclosure for each program or certificate at the bottom of the corresponding program page. Find your program.
