Business & LicensingQuestion 622 of 1605
An applicant for a contractor's license must generally show how many years of journey-level experience in the classification applied for within the 10 years immediately preceding the application?
a.2 years
b.5 years, including 1 year as a supervisor
c.At least 4 years of full-time, journey-level experience
d.3 years
Explanation
Bus. & Prof. Code §7068 (and §7065.1) requires an applicant to demonstrate at least four (4) years of full-time, journey-level experience in the classification applied for, gained within the 10 years immediately preceding the application. Educational credit (technical training, apprenticeship, college coursework) can substitute for up to 3 of the 4 years, but at least 1 year of practical experience is always required. The other options understate or misstate the rule; the 5-year/1-year-supervisor option blends federal contracting language not in California law.
