Professional Licensing & Ethics

In this lesson, we introduce the laws that govern professional licensure and we also discuss our ethical responsibility within our profession. The US Federal statutes do not certify someone as a professional – that authority rests with each individual state, so each state has its own laws that define the profession and set the minimum level for entry into the profession as well as boundaries on the conduct of professionals. We focus on California in this conversation but if you plan to work as a professional in another state then you should become acquainted with the laws of that state.
