Potential changes in requirements:
Southern West Virginia Community & Technical College academic programs are designed to prepare students to apply for licensure or certification in West Virginia. Completion of a Southern West Virginia Community & Technical College program may not meet educational requirements for licensure or certification in a state other than West Virginia.

requirements are subject to changes. While a program may originally meet the educational

new educational requirements. It is the responsibility of students to check with their state
licensure board to confirm licensure requirements and make sure that they meet those requirements.
