California Contractor License
Since 1929, the California Contractors State License Board has helped property owners assure themselves of quality workmanship by issuing California Contractor Licenses. Earning a license requires compliance with the apprenticeship rules of the trade and success on two mandatory licensing exams. Contracting without a license can result in a fine of up to $15,000 per job. Repeat offenders can even be sent to jail.
Becoming a CA Contractor
Training for the California Contractor License examination not only prepares apprentices for a viable career, but it can shorten the length of the apprenticeship period. By requesting that training hours be applied toward an apprenticeship, graduates of California Contractor License training programs can earn higher hourly wages more quickly than self-taught contractors.
