What procedure must be followed if a candidate fails the licensing exam?

The procedure for candidates who fail the licensing exam is designed to provide them with opportunities to improve and succeed without overly punitive measures. Allowing candidates to retake the exam without the need for additional training up to three times acknowledges that while they may not have passed initially, they are still deemed capable of acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills. This approach emphasizes second chances, enabling candidates to enhance their understanding and performance based on feedback received after their first attempt.

This option reflects a supportive framework intended to encourage candidates to persist in their goal of obtaining their license while ensuring they are given a fair chance to succeed. The other options do not align with this supportive approach, as they either impose unnecessary waiting times or requirements that may hinder a candidate's ability to progress.
