West Virginia Contractor Licensing

West Virginia contractor applicants generally must pass the state Contractor Licensing Act exam plus the trade exam for their classification.

View State Requirements

Know which exams you need

West Virginia contractor applicants generally must satisfy the examination requirements for their classification, including the state Contractor Licensing Act exam and the applicable trade exam. NASCLA Commercial Builder may satisfy the trade-exam requirement for eligible building classifications; Electrical Contractor has its own West Virginia trade exam and requires verifying the Master Electrician prerequisite.

Understand the Licensing Act exam

The Contractor Licensing Act exam is West Virginia’s state-specific business-and-law equivalent. It covers West Virginia contractor licensing law, Board rules, written-contract obligations, and construction-defect notice procedures. It is not a separate NASCLA examination.

Confirm your classification

NASCLA acceptance does not automatically qualify every contractor classification. Confirm with the West Virginia Contractor Licensing Board which examination and classification apply to the work you plan to perform.

Know what is included

Licensing Act and Electrical Contractor each offer Online Course + Book Set, Online Course + Exam-Ready Book Set, and Full-Service. Licensing Act Full-Service adds a 30-minute Contractor Licensing Start-Up Consultation; Electrical Full-Service also adds advisor support and instructor office hours.

Review exam materials and application requirements

Prov administers the Contractor Licensing Board exams. Review its current Candidate Information Bulletin for testing rules and approved references. Licensing applications and approvals are handled by the West Virginia Contractor Licensing Board, not CTC.
