NASCLA Commercial General Building Contractor Exam

A candidate passes the NASCLA Accredited Commercial General Building Contractor examination. What does passing it accomplish toward licensure?

1. AIt grants a contractor license automatically in every accepting state
2. BIt replaces the need for any state license
3. CIt satisfies the trade/technical portion in accepting states; each state's business and law licensing requirements still apply separatelyCorrect
4. DIt satisfies both the trade and the business/law requirements in one exam

Why: The NASCLA Accredited exam covers the commercial building trade/technical knowledge and is accepted for that portion by roughly 18 jurisdictions. It does not license the candidate by itself: each state's separate business and law exam, financial, and application requirements still apply.NASCLA Accredited Program scope
