STEP 7- BOARD REVIEW

Board Interview

An interview with a Board member at the regularly scheduled meeting may be required, if they do not meet the waiver criteria listed below. The interview is informal and takes no longer than 30 minutes. However, due to scheduling volume, waiting time could take one to three hours. Contractors are generally interviewed by a Board member who is familiar with the type of license requested. For example, an electrical contractor will be interviewed by a Board member experienced in the electrical field. Therefore, some contractors will be seen earlier. The application is reviewed and general questions will be asked about contracting experience and to make sure the license classification covers your type of projects. You may use this time to ask the Board member advice or the staff questions concerning the licensing law. You may request your license I.D. number at this time. There is not a required dress code.

Waiver of Interview

The contractor’s interview may be waived if the following criteria are met: Owner passed the exam or a full time employee acting as the Qualifying Agent (QA) has been employed for more than six months (must provide evidence, such as pay stub, W-2 form, etc.); three or more years of experience is listed; and application was received before the deadline (all applications received on or after the deadline date will be waived as time allows). Those who are obtaining a restricted residential (BC-A/r) must interview; and those with felony convictions or complaints, are not waived. Waived applicants will not be approved for a license until after the Board meets!
