Once you successfully pass both courses, you will be eligible to sit for the State licensing exam offered by Applied Measurement Professionals (AMP).
For more information on the licensing exam, please visit the PSI Exams Candidate Information page.
Note: Students are generally required to take PRLE 2 before PRLE 3.
