licensing exam

Professional permission test

A licensing exam is a test required to legally practice a profession.

Doctors, lawyers, nurses, electricians, and real estate agents must pass licensing exams before they can work.

The exam typically follows completion of formal education or training: She's studying for her licensing exam next month.

Failing means you can't practice until you pass.
