Alaska Contractor (Residential Endorsement) Exam

Alaska registers contractors under AS 08.18 rather than testing them on a general commercial trade exam, but a general contractor who builds or substantially alters one-to-four-unit residential buildings must hold a Residential Contractor Endorsement — earned through a 16-hour cold-climate construction course and the PSI Residential Endorsement exam. The state portion covers AS 08.18 registration, bonding and insurance, the endorsement's arctic building-science content, and the exemptions.
