Professional Licensure

In compliance with U.S. Department of Education regulations, JCCC provides information pertaining to professional licensure and certification for all relevant programs.

Professional Licensure Requirements May Vary State to State

JCCC offers a number of programs that lead to professional licensure or certification within the State of Kansas as well as, potentially, other states. States vary in what professions they require to be licensed and how licensure or certification functions. Some states require individuals to graduate from an approved program. Others require individuals to meet the requirements of a national organization. Specific amounts of training may also be required as well as passage of an exam based on a state requisite exam score. Additionally, certain licensed professionals may be required to complete continuing education annually to maintain licensure or certification.

Disclosures Based on Student Location

The U.S. Department of Education requires direct disclosures of professional licensure or certification information to students based on their locations. JCCC identifies the location of its students based on information provided by students during the registration process identifying students’ physical locations or upon relocation.

Relocating to another state prior to completing a program may affect state licensure requirements. Prior to considering relocation, students are advised to contact their programs to discuss licensure and certification eligibility requirements. Following relocation, students must update their addresses at the JCCC Change Your Name or Address web page. JCCC will not consider a student to have relocated until it has received this completed form.

What All Students in Licensure Programs Should Do

Prior to enrolling in any program at JCCC, prospective students living and/or working outside of the United States should confirm with the appropriate licensing or certifying agency whether successful completion of any program at JCCC will meet the credentialing requirements of the country in which they intend to seek employment.

Students should review the specific academic requirements for the program in which they are enrolling, including those related to practicum/internships as well as pre-qualifications for licensure, such as the need for a criminal background check.

JCCC strongly recommends that students contact the applicable licensure board(s) in their state of residence or in the state where they intend to obtain a license before beginning an academic program that results in licensure or certification and prior to beginning any practicum/internship.

Many licensing and certifying boards require more than successful degree completion to obtain a license or certification. Please be advised that state laws, regulations, and policies may change at any time, which can impact the program's ability to meet educational requirements for licensure or certification.

General Comments:

Dental Hygiene licensure is required in all states. To obtain a license, a student must graduate from a Dental Hygiene program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) and pass both the National Board Dental Hygiene Exam (NBDHE) and a Clinical Board Exam. Most states require a course in local anesthesia and nitrous oxide sedation, which are included in the JCCC curriculum. California, Washington, and Oregon have “expanded function” requirements above the minimum and may require students to take additional courses for additional certifications. Program graduates should consult with individual state licensing agencies for specific licensure application requirements. A list of all state dental boards can be found here at https://www.dentalboards.org/state-dental-board-list.

General Comments:

Students are eligible for the licensing exams upon successful completion of the EMS program. Successful completion of the licensing exams results in Kansas licensure and a National Registry of EMTs (NREMT) certification. NREMT certifications serve as the basis of reciprocity and must be renewed every two years to remain active. To gain licensure in other states, students must maintain their NREMT certification.

A limited number of states participate in the Recognition of EMS Personnel Licensure Interstate CompAct (REPLICA) which extends a qualified EMS professional licensed in a “Home State” the “Privilege to Practice” in “Remote States” for qualified circumstances. REPLICA may allow a graduate with a lapsed NREMT certification to gain licensure in certain states without current NREMT status. Information regarding the EMS Compact and the Interstate Commission for EMS Personnel Practice is available at www.EMSCompact.gov.

Program applicants should consult with state licensing agencies to determine state licensure requirements. Contacts are available at https://www.nremt.org/rwd/public/states/state-ems-agencies.

General Comments:

Standards for certification of the health care interpreting profession are not national, so minimum requirements vary greatly by state. Most healthcare institutions and employers prefer health care interpreters to have (1) a certificate of successful completions of 40 hours of training from a recognized educational institution or training program; (2) a certificate showing level of language proficiency; (3) proof of interpreting skills; and (4) mastery of medical terminology.

To learn more about national certification and health care interpreting, see the American Translators Association at https://www.atanet.org/certification/, ExploreHealthCareers.org at https://explorehealthcareers.org/career/allied-health-professions/health-care-interpreter/, or a National Library of Medicine article at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2150609/#CR24.

General Comments:

Licensure, certification, or registration of HVAC technicians, or apprentice HVAC technicians, is not required in some states. In several other states, neither education nor experience is required for an individual to qualify for licensure, certification, or registration as an apprentice. Some states require an applicant for licensure, certification, or registration as an apprentice to be enrolled in an apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor upon application and other states substitute formal education for some of the experience hours required to complete an apprenticeship.

General Comments:

The licensure requirements for nurses differ across the states and U.S. territories. Johnson County Community College recommends students visit the National Council of State Boards of Nursing at https://www.ncsbn.org/nurse-licensure-guidance.htm to identify the nursing requirements for the state in which the student plans to live and practice.

The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) allows a nurse to have one multistate license with the ability to practice in the nurse’s home state and other compact states. Kansas is part of the NLC. To learn which other states are part of the NLC, go to https://www.ncsbn.org/nurse-licensure-compact.htm.

General Comments:

The Home Health Aide (HHA) Career Prep course is not intended to lead to professional licensure. It provides content helpful for exam preparation or review. This course is not approved by the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services (KDADS). The education and licensure requirements for home health aides depend on whether the agency employing the home health aide is funded by Medicare or Medicaid. This course does not have a clinical component and therefore, students who complete this course are not qualified to work in Medicare or Medicaid settings. Prospective students are advised to carefully check the requirements to work as a home health aide in the state and setting (private or federally funded) the prospective students want to work.

To become a home health aide in Kansas, an individual must have a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) license, take a course approved by KDADS, and successfully complete the Kansas Home Health Aide Certification Exam. JCCC offers an in-person CNA program. For more information, visit https://www.jccc.edu/academics/credit/nursing/certified-nurse-aide/. JCCC also offers an in-person HHA program approved by KDADS. For more information, visit https://www.jccc.edu/academics/credit/nursing/home-health-aide/.
