Licensing
TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential)
Pilotage Professional Prerequisites
Each state pilot holds two pilot licenses—one issued by the state, and one issued by the federal government (Coast Guard). For state pilots, the federal license acts as the national minimum standard. In many states, it is a requirement for admission to a state training program. In other states, particularly those with longer training programs, the individual earns a federal license as one step in the state training program.
