Who It’s For and Where Your License Works

LA

The NASCLA exam is a national commercial building exam. Louisiana accepts it for the Building Construction classification, which covers commercial building projects of $50,000 or more. 16 other states and the U.S. Virgin Islands accept it too, so one passing score can count toward licenses in several states.

My Contractors License course prepares you to pass the NASCLA General Building Contractor exam. To get licensed in Louisiana, you apply to the LSLBC, and complete its online Business and Law course. Our course gets you through the exam, so you can finish your license application.

Do I need approval before I schedule?

Yes. For a Louisiana license, apply to the LSLBC first and get approved before you test. You don't need approval to start studying, though. Start our course while your application is under review.
