Basic Contractor Business Licensing Classes
Effective August 21, 2006, a designated employee or member of management of all contractors applying for initial licensure (for an entity not currently licensed) must successfully complete an eight-hour business class approved by the Board for Contractors.
Applicants must provide documentation that the class has been successfully completed by including a copy of the Certificate of Completion issued by the class, which identifies the course, course provider, date of completion, and the name of the individual who took the class.
Who must take the class?
Anyone seeking an A, B, or C license for the first time must take the class. One designated employee or member of management must attend the class. If you currently hold a license and are merely changing your business type (i.e. sole proprietorship to corporation), it is recommended that you contact the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) at (804) 367-8511 for answers.
The resources for this course are a bundled set including the Contractor’s Business Reference Manual, Virginia Contractor’s Law, and a practice exam. These materials are included in the price of the course.
