Who is responsible for verifying that an applicant completed their pre-license education?

The responsibility for verifying that an applicant has completed their pre-license education falls to a certified education provider. These providers are specifically authorized to offer the required coursework and have systems in place to track student progress and completion of the educational requirements. They ensure that students meet the necessary standards and provide documentation that confirms an applicant has fulfilled their educational obligations before seeking licensure.

While other entities such as the department of insurance and local licensing authorities play significant roles in the licensing process, they rely on the records and verification provided by certified education providers to confirm that applicants have satisfactorily completed their pre-license education. The involvement of the candidate's employer is generally not related to the verification process, as the completion of educational requirements is primarily an individual responsibility that must be verified by the education provider.
