How long must a military spouse have held a license in a comparable classification to waive the trade exam?

The requirement for a military spouse to have held a license in a comparable classification for waiving the trade exam is set at one year. This provision is designed to facilitate the professional mobility of military spouses who may frequently relocate due to military obligations. By allowing a one-year license requirement, the rules acknowledge the challenges faced by military families and provide a smoother transition into the workforce in a new location. This approach is aligned with efforts aimed at reducing barriers for military families in maintaining their professional qualifications amid the demands of military life.
