8:7-1.8 Examinations
(a) The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services shall schedule examinations for the licensure of persons for public health positions at least twice a year.
(b) Examinations shall be prepared, conducted and scored in accordance with the department's standard operating procedures with the advice of the Public Health Examining Board.
(c) If any qualified candidate fails an examination for a particular type of license two times, such candidate shall not be permitted entrance to the next examination for that type of license until, and unless, the candidate submits evidence, to the Board of further formal training and supervised experience specifically in those areas in which the candidate was deficient. The board in its discretion, may accept the additional evidence or require the candidate to postpone taking the licensure examination for a period of one year from the date of the last examination. During the one year waiting period the candidate shall be required by the Board to either obtain further training and experience under the supervision of a person licensed for the position for which the candidate seeks licensure, or obtain further educational training and experience through formal courses at an accredited institution of higher education or through recognized professional or governmental bodies. At the conclusion of the one-year period, the candidate shall furnish the Board with a written report from his supervisor or from the educational institution, attesting to the completion of the additional training and experience and may then make application to gain admission to the licensure examination.
