Licensure Disclosures
Professional Licensure and Certification Degree Programs
Coastal Alabama Community College offers degree programs that lead to professional licensure with the State of Alabama and may allow graduates to be eligible for licensure in other states. Per U.S. Federal Regulations, 34 CFR § 668.50 (2016 Rules), 34 CFR § 668.43 (2019 Rules), and in compliance with the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) Manual, Coastal Alabama Community College provides public disclosures for programs reasonably assumed to lead to professional licensure or certification. Public disclosures are strictly limited to the college's determination of whether the degree programs, if successfully completed, would be sufficient to meet the educational licensure or certification requirements in a state.
Students and prospective students are strongly encouraged to contact the state’s licensure entity where they intend to practice using the program links provided to review all licensure and certification requirements imposed by the state(s) of choice.
These disclosures do not provide any guarantee that any particular state licensure or certification entity will approve or deny an application. Coastal Alabama shall not be held liable if a student is unable to qualify for licensure or certification in any jurisdiction. Additionally, these disclosures do not account for changes in state law or regulation that may affect an application for licensure that occurs after these disclosures have been made.
Relocating to a different state after admission into a degree program may impact whether a student can remain in the degree program, meet the state licensure requirements, and/or continue to receive financial aid funding. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the institution of a change in physical location.

Please note that some states do not recognize the advanced emergency medical technician position. For those states, individuals are employed as basic EMTs or paramedics only; thus, a person employed as an AEMT in Alabama would be employed as a basic EMT in a state that does not recognize AEMT.
While certification indicates an entry level competency standard has been met, state licensure is what gives individuals the right to work in a particular capacity. Nationally Certified EMS providers who are not state licensed cannot practice. After obtaining National EMS Certification, individuals must obtain a license to work from the state EMS office in the state(s) for which the individual plans to practice. Information for each state EMS office can be found at https://www.nremt.org/rwd/public/states/state-ems-agencies

Each state has different requirements for credentialing veterinary technicians. Most state agencies use the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) to evaluate the competency of entry-level veterinary technicians and require a passing score for a veterinary technician to be credentialed. Most states and provinces require that VTNE candidates be graduates of a veterinary technology program accredited by the American or Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA-CVTEA or CVMA). Coastal Alabama’s Veterinary Technician program is accredited by the CVTEA. Graduates of Coastal Alabama’s program are eligible to sit for the VTNE exam.
