Professional regulation may also include accreditation of programs that train practitioners; examinations to assess potential practitioners’knowledge and skills; licensing for practitioners, which may also include requirements for ongoing professional development after licensing is granted; or a registry of licensed practitioners.  \nThe BC Transfer System (BCTS) includes member institutions with programs that educate learners for entry to regulated professions.
