• Licensure is based on specific rules in all states. In Iowa, our rules specify that course work must be completed with course credit. • Iowa does not recognize testing as the sole means of evaluating competency. Testing will not be a valid justification for meeting competencies. • Iowa does not recognize previous life experiences as a means of meeting a competency. Therefore, life experiences and previous employment prior to your program will not be accepted as justification for meeting a competency.
