Louisiana Residential Contractor License and Exam Prep
Residential Contractor Licensing & Exam Prep
Louisiana issues multiple types of Contractor licenses. The Residential Contractor license is used for projects pertaining to residential structures up to a fourplex. The Business and Law course must be completed prior to the trade exam. A qualifying party who has previously passed the Building Construction examination is not required to pass the Residential Building Contractor examination in order to qualify for this classification.
Our exam prep is designed to help you pass your test the first time, and is backed with our no pass, no pay policy. All of our courses are available from almost any device, any time. We hope that you will make RocketCert your home to help you obtain your Louisiana Residential Contractor License.
