Contractors License Classes Now Held In Los Angeles

The Burbank, California based Contractors State License Center is now providing exam preparation for contractor test in Los Angeles. The local company is committed to helping members of their community pass this exam required to obtain a contractor license in the state of California.

California law states that a general building contractor’s license is required to work on any projects that exceed a certain capital threshold. However, obtaining this license is easier said than done, as one must meet certain requirements in order to be eligible to obtain one. First of all, in order to qualify for a license, one is required to take and pass a series of tests administered by the Contractor State License Board in California.

This exam consists of two separate tests, designed to evaluate an individual's competence and knowledge in different aspects of the challenges a contractor handles everyday. However, only qualifying individuals are eligible to take these tests, as the law states that applicants are required to have at least four years of experience as a journeyman, foreman, supervisor or contractor before they are eligible to take the exam. In addition to this, all applicants must have a working capital of at least $2,500, and they must also file a bond with the Registrar in the amount of $10,000.

Once it has been determined that an individual qualifies to take these tests, they must pass the standard Law and Business examination. Only when they have passed this first test will they will be able to apply for the second part of the exam, which will cover the specific trade or certification area for which they are applying.

These tests are multiple-choice, consisting of 120 questions on average for the law test and 80 to 125 for the trade test. In order to pass these tests, the classes provided by the Contractors State License Center will cover some of the most commonly asked questions as well as go over the subjects they will need to be competent in to answer any unforeseen questions. The law test requires a percentage of at least 73% correct answers for an individual to pass, while the percentage necessary to pass the trade test changes continuously.
