NASCLA Accredited Examination for Commercial General Building Contractors
A shared trade examination that 20 state licensing agencies across 16 states and the US Virgin Islands accept in place of their own trade exam. Passing it is not a licence and licenses you nowhere: you still apply to each state board, meet its experience, financial and bonding rules, and sit its own business and law exam.
