shall evaluate the applicant's experience and training to determine the extent

to which the applicant's training and experience satisfies current Missouri

licensing requirements and shall notify the applicant regarding his or her

deficiencies and inform the applicant of the action that he or she must take

to qualify to take the examination. The applicant for licensure under this

subsection shall pay the appropriate examination and licensure fees.
