What is a Qualifying Party? “Qualifying party” means a natural person designated by the contractor to represent the contractor for the purpose of complying with the provisions in the Contractors Licensing Law and Rules and Regulations including without limitation meeting the requirements for the initial license and/or any continuation thereof. A qualifying party is the person who holds the exam scores, and is not the owner of the license unless he/she is a sole proprietor. Who is eligible to be a Qualifying Party and what are the requirements? A qualifying party must meet one of the eligibility requirements and documentation must be provided to verify the eligibility of the qualifying party. The following are the eligibility requirements to be a Qualifying Party: Sole Proprietor (Individual): No additional documentation required. . Spouse of Sole Proprietor (Individual): Provide a copy of your marriage license. Partner: Provide a copy of the partnership agreement in which you are listed as a partner. Any Member or Manager of LLC: Provide a copy of the original Articles of Organization and Initial Report identifying you as a member or manager of the company. If these documents do not identify you as a member or manager, you must also submit a copy of the Operating Agreement which identifies you as a member or manager of the company. Any Incorporator, Stockholder or Officer: Provide a copy of the original Articles of Incorporation in which your name is listed as an incorporator, stockholder or officer of the company. If these documents do not identify you as a incorporator, stockholder or officer, you must also submit a copy of the company’s By-Laws or Meeting Minutes which identify you as an incorporator, stockholder or officer of the company. Employee: You must be a full-time employee of the company for at least 120 days prior to submitting an application and the qualifier/employee will be required to sign a legal affidavit, along with their employer, that they meet the 120-day mandated employment requirement.

Candidates who take and pass the NASCLA Accredited Examination can access NASCLA’s National Examination Database (NED) located on ned.nascla.org to electronically send their transcripts to jurisdictions that accept the examination in lieu of their state specific trade portion. Candidates will still need to submit state agency applications to become licensed. A complete list of accepting state agencies can be found on NASCLA’s website by clicking here.

"More Information The NASCLA Accredited Examination Program offers a streamlined test taking option for the trade portion requirement of a Commercial General Building Contractors license."

The Business and Law portion came entirely out of the NASCLA Contractors guide to Business, Law, and Project Management. The book is small enough that you can get to know the entire book pretty well. Highlight this using a highlighting guide and find a practice exam for this and you should be fine--there's a fair amount of info in it, but it's just one book so pretty manageable. Also open book on this portion too. https://1examprep.com/products/nasc...eUYUCiqkQi1W7LAEjX5MD7FgxhYAEMNbkEBoCwAnw_wcB

"There are 21 books total, most of them between 100 and 1,000 pages each. It's a lot of information. It's an open book exam. During the exam, I was in and out of the books ALL the time, looking up things on most questions. The answers are all in the books, it's just about knowing which book to go to and where to find the specific piece of information. So I wouldn't recommend studying/taking the exam without the full set of books, though they are definitely pricey, totaling maybe $1,500."

"This exam may not eliminate the Business and Law exam in each state, just the trades so be sure to check with each State agency to see if you still need to sit for the Business/Law exam. Please note that this is NOT a National License. It only eliminates the Trade Exam in participating state agencies."
