Overview & Benefits

The right resources and exam prep services

We offer everything you need to prepare for the Virginia Contractors Class A/B Business Law exams!

The Class A/B Exam is a 2- or 3-part exam that covers legal, financial, and business regulations for Contractors in the state of Virginia. Class A license applicants are required to take and pass all three parts of the exam: the Virginia, General, and Advanced portions. Class B license applicants are required to take and pass the Virginia and General exams; the Advanced exam is optional. Note: Class C contractor applicants do not need to take the Class A/B exams.

You can view the Candidate Information Bulletin for the exam here.

This exam is to be taken by the designated employee or member of responsible management of the entity applying for licensure. There is an additional 8-hour Pre-License Course requirement for all Virginia Contractors: Classes A, B, and C. The same person who takes the Pre-License course must be the same person who takes the Class A/B license exam.
