Every Louisiana building exam is open book, and you bring your own references. You can highlight, underline, annotate and add permanent tabs before test day, but sticky notes must come out, and you can't write in your books during the exam. My Contractors License courses and pre-printed tabs show you exactly where to look, so you can flip straight to the answer.
See how the course worksIt depends on your work and project size. Commercial building projects of $50,000 or more need a Building Construction license. Residential projects over $50,000 need a Residential license. Carpentry contractors on commercial projects need a Carpentry license. Home improvement work of $7,500 or more requires a home improvement registration.
Louisiana accepts either one for a commercial building license. A NASCLA license has the added benefit of being able to work in 15 other states as well.
Yes. Apply to the LSLBC first. Once you're approved, PSI emails you, and you can schedule. You don't need approval to start studying, though. Start our course while your application is under review, and you'll be ready to test as soon as you're approved.
Louisiana uses an online Business and Law course instead of a scheduled exam. Initial applicants complete it through the LSLBC from their own computer.
Complete the MCL program, take the exam, and if you don't pass, we'll refund more than you paid — 110% of your prep course purchase. No other Louisiana Builder exam prep in the market makes that promise.
