Action:
Exception to Training Requirement
Action 5615
General Information
| Action Summary |
Current regulations require individuals with out of state training to complete “substantially equivalent” training to Virginia’s required training, however, substantially equivalent training is not defined, nor is there a pathway for otherwise competent individuals without substantially equivalent training to obtain a license. The Board seeks to revise its regulations to provide a definition of substantially equivalence for training and examinations, as well as allow individuals who have five years of licensed experience in another state to substitute their experience for substantially equivalent training. |
