All experience claims must be verifiable by a qualified and responsible person, such as a homeowner, an employer, a fellow employee, other journeymen, a contractor, a union representative, a building inspector, an architect or an engineer. The person verifying your claim must have first-hand knowledge of your experience, that is, he or she must have observed the work that you have done. You do not have to meet any educational requirements in order to qualify for a contractor's license. You may receive credit for technical training, apprenticeship training, or education which may be substituted for a portion of the required four years of practical experience. You must provide written documentation of any training or education claimed in place of experience.
Acceptable documentation includes copies of apprenticeship certificates and college transcripts.
