It is one of those times in an organization’s lifetime to say, “Mission Accomplished!” The first NASCLA Accredited Examination for Commercial General Building Contractors was administered on September 8, 2009 in Alabama. The Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors was the first NASCLA member to utilize the new examination developed by PSI Services, LLC. The administration of this examination is a milestone in NASCLA history, as NASCLA been working at least ten years toward the goal of improving the quality of construction examinations and enabling the mobility of contractors across jurisdictions. NASCLA committee members, testing providers, and consultants have participated in making this accomplishment truly a collaborative effort.
The NASCLA-Accredited Examination Program was designed to assist contractors who need to be licensed in multiple jurisdictions. Contractors who take the accredited examination can access NASCLA’s examination database (NED) and request that their results be sent to other jurisdictions that accept the examination, thereby reducing redundant licensing requirements.
Please find below a list of states that administer the NASCLA Accredited Examination and a list of states who accept the NASCLA Accredited Examination to date.
