Who is entitled to appeal if their certificate has been revoked or suspended?

The correct answer is that a person whose certificate has been revoked or suspended is entitled to appeal. This is grounded in the principle that individuals affected by administrative actions, such as the revocation or suspension of a professional certification, have the right to challenge those actions. This right to appeal is vital to ensuring due process, allowing individuals to contest decisions that may significantly impact their professional status and career.

In this context, other groups such as accredited counselors, licensed professionals, or any individual do not automatically have the right to appeal a decision specific to another individual's certification status. The appeal process is typically structured to allow the actual party affected by the decision—the one whose certification has been revoked or suspended—to present their case and seek a remedy. This promotes fairness and accountability in the administrative process that oversees certifications and licenses in the professional field.
