West Virginia Contractors Business and Law Exam Prep Course
West Virginia Contractor applicants are required to take two exams: a Business Law exam and a technical exam specific to their trade. We also offer exam prep courses for West Virginia trade exams, linked here.
This exam discusses basic business management skills necessary to run a construction business. It also addresses the legal requirements of establishing a business including taxes, laws, and regulations governing construction.
Note: Those seeking licensure as a contractor in West Virginia are required to pass a trade knowledge exam in addition to the business law exam.
