Professional License

This sub-textual structure is designed to represent professional licenses that a manager may hold. Depending on the profession, such designated included ‘licensed’ (e.g., ‘licensed to practice law’), ‘registered’ (e.g., ‘registered professional engineer’), ‘certified’ (e.g., ‘certified public accountant’) or ‘chartered’ (e.g., ‘chartered surveyor’), with the terms often stating a particular state or country in which they are valid. Although these could be considered a form of education, they are treated separately, because unlike other qualifications they are not issued by universities (and typically the entity issuing the license is not directly mentioned), often mention the region in which they are valid, and typically confer some legal responsibility (e.g., the ability to certify accounts).
