General Contractor License Exam
Scope of Work:
If your work is not limited by the size or type of building, then this is your license. A Florida General Contractor license carries no limit on height or size, from a single-family home to high-rise construction. It is the broadest building license the state issues, and the one to hold if you do not want your license to limit the type of jobs you may take on.
Exam Information:
In the State of Florida certified General contractors must pass a Business & Finance exam plus two Trade Knowledge examinations with a minimum score of (70%) each. These tests may be taken in any order, but since the Business & Finance books and study material are required for both exams, it is much easier to prepare, pass, and get this exam completed first.
(1) Business & Finance Exam
This is an "Open Book Test" utilizing 3 exam reference books with (120) scored multiple choice questions to be completed in a (6 ½) hour test session. It is administered on computer at over a thousand Pearson VUE testing centers across the country, and students may schedule the exam at any location and on any date convenient for them.
(2) Trade Knowledge Exams
(Contractor Administration Exam and Project Management Exam)
These are also both "Open Book Tests" utilizing the 3 exam reference books used on the Business & Finance exam along with another 13 additional reference books. These two separate tests will have (60) scored multiple choice questions to be completed in each of their (4 ½) hour test sessions.
