Virginia Contractors License
Obtain or Renew Your License in Virginia
A contractor's license is required in Virginia for projects over $1,000. However, all electrical, HVAC, gas and plumbing work requires a master or journeyman license (click below for details). Also, the tradesman licenses require continuing education to be completed for each renewal.
Virginia Contractor licenses are divided into three categories: A, B, and C. The difference in the classifications are based on project size. The first step is to successfully complete an 8 Hour pre license education course. In addition to completing the requirements for becoming an A, B, or C contractor, you will also need to pass a trade exam (such as commercial building / home improvement) or being a master for your trade.
At RocketCert, we offer industry leading pre-licensing, exam prep, and continuing education. In addition, we stock the references that you need and can use during the exam. All our training is available online to help you achieve your goal of obtaining or renewing a Virginia Contractors License (or tradesman).
