The NOCTI exam can be used in place of a license or certification for MOST T&I or CTE areas.   However, we do not recommend advising the intern of this route until all other options have been exhausted.  At which time the SOQ specialist can provide information to the intern/applicant on how to register for the correct corresponding NOCTI exam.
