Columbus Technical College’s Funeral Service Education Program satisfies the licensing requirements for students in all states. The NBE is a nationwide exam. Students need only to request which state they want to work in when filling out their exam application so the International Conference of Funeral Service Examining Boards can forward their test results to that state.
