Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about the licensing process

How do I take the Georgia NASCLA exam in the state of Georgia?

As a Georgia License Applicant, you can apply for approval to take the NASCLA Commercial Builder Exam by applying to NASCLA at ned.nascla.org, or by submitting a license application for a General Contractor's license to the Georgia state board.

If you apply to Georgia directly to take the NASCLA Commercial Builder Exam, you will only have two attempts to take the exam within a one-year period. However, if you apply directly to NASCLA and then send your exam transcripts to the Georgia State Board with your application, you will have three attempts to take the exam at PSI within a one-year period.

If you have more questions about the application process, you can talk to a licensing expert on a Contractor Licensing Start-Up Consultation, available at the link here.
