What the document says“any occupational or professional license issued or recognized by a State or the Federal Government (and any certification that satisfies a condition for obtaining such a license), and”
The section defines a recognized postsecondary credential as an industry recognized postsecondary employment credential issued by a program accredited by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence, the National Commission on Certifying Agencies or the American National Standards Institute, or included in the Credentialing Opportunities On-Line directory maintained by the Department of Defense or a branch of the Armed Forces, or identified by the Secretary as industry recognized after consulting the Secretary of Labor; a certificate of completion of an apprenticeship registered and certified with the Secretary of Labor under the National Apprenticeship Act; an occupational or professional license issued or recognized by a State or the federal government, with any certification that is a condition of getting one; and a recognized postsecondary credential as defined in section 3(52) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act provided through a State listed program.
What the document actually says“any occupational or professional license issued or recognized by a State or the Federal Government (and any certification that satisfies a condition for obtaining such a license), and”
A job license from a state or the federal government counts. So does a certificate needed to get one.
Some job certificates count too. So does a paper showing an apprenticeship is done. The law names the bodies that approve them.
