"Masters plus 30" is not licentia ad practicandum(literally "license to practice"), but instead is a rank on a payscale. However, unlike other payscale "plus" ranks which refer to time-of-service, "masters plus 30" refers to accredited semester credit hours. The "Masters + 30" term is most commonly used in payscales for educators, and was pioneered by the South Carolina Department of Education many years ago in an effort to attract and retain more experienced teachers. Among southern states, it is used greatly, but might have other names. For example, in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Masters + 30 is also known as "Rank 1". Since Masters +/plus 30 is not recognized as a licentiate, it should not be added to a person's name where their other licentiate (degrees and certifications) appear.
