2018 Florida Contractor Exams

2018 Florida Contractor Exams

If you want to be a contractor, you must do it the right way. You’ve got to take courses, get experience, take exams, and apply for a license. If you want to be a licensed contractor in the state of Florida, you must pass the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board’s contractor exam. You need to score a 70 percent or higher to pass. This test is a 2-day exam that is offered a few times throughout the year across the state.

Starting in August 2018, general, building and residential exams are computer-based, while plumbing exams are still paper/pencil format in Orlando.

Test dates are: August 14-15, October 16-17, and December 11-12.

For testing, tower specialty, demolition specialty, and industrial facilities specialty need to pass the general exam of contract administration, project management, and business and finance.

You are allowed to have reference materials, but you only have 6.5 hours to complete the test. You should definitely prepare and study before this exam.

All other state licenses (i.e. Mechanical, Class A Air Conditioning, Class B Air Conditioning,Commercial Pool, Gas Line,Glass and Glazing, Gypsum Drywall, Irrigation, Marine, Pollutant Storage, Residential Pool, Roofing, Service Pool, Sheet Metal, Solar, Specialty Structure, Underground Utilities, and electrical trades) use a different testing company and do not follow schedule, so you can test whenever you are ready. read more
