| Abstract | Occupational licensing has received renewed attention in America. This document examines the practices of licensing boards and the criteria they use. Licensing procedures were analyzed by the Educational Testing Service with reference to the following points: what is licensed and where, who does the licensing, what are the requirements, how is competency tested, what about applicant failure, transfer of certification, minority goup membership, and future expectations. The four occupational areas compared are health occupations, construction trades, service occupations, and transportation occupations. The report comments on the appropriateness and effectiveness of performance tests and written tests. Discrimination in testing procedures and the validity of testing criteria are considered. The study concludes that the licensing structure must be modified and improved so that it may serve its societal function and provide fair and equitable treatment to those who are licensed. Among the possible modifications suggested by the researchers are improved testing procedures, job analysis, validity studies, language assistance, and procedures for candidates who fail. A reference section is also included. (JC) |
