How It Works
Getting your license doesn't have to be a headache. We’ve streamlined the process into four simple steps to take you from helper to pro without the paperwork stress.
Step 1: Create Your Profile.
Start by creating a secure account, it’s as easy as signing in with your Gmail. We never share your sensitive data with anyone except the specific licensing board you select.
Step 2: Enter Your Experience.
Input your personal details and work history, including where you worked and for how long. We’ll help you secure the necessary signatures from employers or supervisors to verify your hours.
Step 3: We Build & Submit Your Application.
Once your info is in, S1 maps it to your state’s unique requirements, fills out the complex PDFs, and prepares the final package. You don’t pay our service fee until the application is complete and ready to go out the door.
Step 4: Get Approved and Test.
We alert you the moment you’re approved to sit for the exam. We’ll then guide you through the testing registration and recommend time-tested, affordable study materials to ensure you pass.
Built on Trust, Guarded by Professionals
Your privacy is our priority, which is why we have a strict policy regarding data handling: we only use your information for the administration of your specific licensing program and never share your details with anyone other than the state licensing board you select. In most cases, the state already possesses your personal information through your driver’s license or existing records; we are simply helping you verify that information against public and private databases to advance your career.
We are a private organization dedicated to your success, providing clear professional disclosures to ensure you know exactly who is handling your future.
