rehabilitation program approved by the particular licensing agency
concerned and provided by the prison or other correctional
institution, in a particular skill, occupation, or profession for
which a state license, certificate, or other evidence of proficiency
is required by this code shall not, when released from the prison or
institution, be denied the right to take the next regularly scheduled
state examination or any examination thereafter required to obtain
the license, certificate, or other evidence of proficiency and shall
not be denied such license, certificate, or other evidence of
proficiency, because of his imprisonment or the conviction from which
the imprisonment resulted, or because he obtained his training in
