Which conditions define when the committee may issue a temporary license?

• A. Has not previously held a training permit
• B. Has not previously taken the licensing examination
• C. Both A and B
• D. Neither A nor B

Answer: (C)

Temporary licensure is meant to bridge the early stage of fully becoming licensed. The committee will issue a temporary license only if the applicant has not previously held a training permit and has not previously taken the licensing examination. Meeting both conditions shows the applicant is just starting the licensure path, allowing supervised practice while they complete the required steps. If either condition isn’t met—someone has previously held a training permit or has previously taken the licensing exam—the temporary license would not be available. Remember, a temporary license is limited in scope and duration and is not a substitute for passing the exam and obtaining full licensure.
