(I) Approved by the board; and
(II) A national examination accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency;
(c) Submit an application in the form and manner designated by the director; and

(3) When the applicant has fulfilled all the requirements of subsection (1) of this section, the board shall issue a license to the applicant; except that the board may deny the license if the applicant has committed an act which would be grounds for disciplinary action under section 12-41-115.
