Tennessee Contractors License & Exam Prep
Obtain or Renew Your License in Tennessee
A contractor's license is required in Tennessee for project's over $25,000. However, all electrical and plumbing work requires a license. Most license classifications in TN will require passing two exams: business and law, and the construction/trade exam. Certain licenses (such as roofing, fuel gas, framing, drywall & more) can be obtained by passing only the business and law exam, whereas the limited electrical and limited plumbing will only require the passing of a trade exam.
At RocketCert, we offer industry leading exam prep to help you pass your exam on the first try. In addition, we stock the references that you need and can use during the exam.
