A license is required in Florida to bid on any Electrical project. Limited energy / low voltage and alarm contractor licenses are administered by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). To obtain your license, you must first meet experience and exam requirements that are set by the board.
We provide online exam prep, books for the exam, and additional services to help you obtain your license. All our training is offered in an online self-paced format. Our exam prep is designed to help you pass your test the first time. We also back it with our "no pass, no pay" policy so you can feel confident in your investment. We hope that you will make RocketCert your home to help you obtain your Florida Limited Energy Contractor's License.
