Becoming a contractor is a little more tedious than one might expect. A contractor is essentially the glue of a construction project, so these professionals must be licensed and prepared to carry out projects. A general contractor is responsible for providing all of the material, labor, equipment, and services necessary for the construction of a project. Working to become a contractor has many requirements, but our team at RocketCert will help you sort through the process so you can become a licensed contractor in the state of Virginia with no problems.

1. Decide Which License You Want to Obtain

   In Virginia, there are three different classes of a contractor's license. Class A, B, and C. Once you choose what class license you wish to achieve, you can move forward with the following tasks. 



2. Complete 8-Hour Pre-Licensing Course

   This pre-licensing course is required to be completed by anyone obtaining a contractor's license in Virginia. RocketCert will offer the exam online for only $99.
