CONTRACTOR LICENSE EXAMINATION PREPARATION
In general, applicants for a contractor's license must pass a two-part exam:
The Law Exam covers license, lien, and labor law (including worker's compensation and payroll taxes, and business management.)
The Trade Exam (including "A", "B" and any C type) covers the contractor's trade classification. For example, a plumber is tested on the "Uniform Plumbing Code, plumbing tools, materials, equipment, trade practices, safety procedures, and plans and specifications".
Each Trade manual includes a review of basic math and estimating formulas, Cal/OSHA regulations, and summaries of trade literature relating to a specific State exam. For example, the Electrical (C-10) trade manual contains summaries of literature dealing with electrical theory, materials, tools, equipment, meters, plan and circuit symbols, the National Electrical Code, and other topics covered on the State C-10 exam.
