More Information
The NASCLA Accredited Examination Program offers a streamlined test taking option for the trade portion requirement of a Commercial General Building Contractors or Electrical license in accepting state agencies. Candidates who take and pass the NASCLA Accredited Examination can access NASCLA’s National Examination Database (NED) located on ned.nascla.org to electronically send their transcripts to jurisdictions that accept the examination in lieu of their state specific trade portion. Candidates will still need to submit state agency applications to become licensed. If the candidate does not meet the exam candidate qualifications, he/she will receive an email indicating any application deficiencies. An application is not considered complete and will not be processed until all items have been submitted, including all required fees.

Candidates who attempt to steal Examination information could face a range of administrative, civil and criminal charges.
