What kind of classes did you have to take? I'm working on all the paper
work. Also, I was wondering a friend of mine just got her provisional
lic. in the state of Utah and she is considering getting certified in IL
as well. Does she have to remove the provisions first before doing that?
She's emailed ISBE and called and never gets an answer. Just wondering if
you know. Thanks!
