ALABAMA FAQS

What You Need to Know

Do I need a state license to work in Alabama?

Yes, for most contractor work. Alabama licenses electricians, commercial general contractors and home builders statewide through three separate boards.

Do I have to take a business and law exam?

In most cases, yes. Commercial prime contractors take a business and law exam through PSI. Home builders seeking an unlimited license take one through Prov and need 70% to pass. Electrical contractors coming from another state take the Alabama Business and Law exam to get licensed through reciprocity.

Can I buy the course without the books?

Yes. Choose Course Only if you already have the approved references. You can also buy booksets, tabs or individual books from the Alabama Bookstore.

Does passing the exam automatically issue a license?

No. Passing the exam is one step. You still need to apply with your licensing board and meet its experience, financial and insurance requirements.

Can I tab and highlight my code books?

Yes, but the rules depend on your exam. On the Alabama electrical exams, you can use permanent tabs and highlight in pen. Sticky notes, removable tabs and handwritten notes aren't allowed. Other exams set their own rules, so check your candidate bulletin before test day.

How do I renew my license?

Renewal depends on your board:

  • Electrical contractors: 14 hours of continuing education every two years, including 7 hours on the NEC.
  • Home builders: 6 hours of continuing education each year, including 2 hours of Alabama-specific courses.

You can take your Alabama CE online with our sister brand, All Star Training.
