# Idalia S. 2021-12-14 15:06
Hi Ricardo Vazquez! Your two-year credits from accredited college-level courses fall under the experience/education requirements for the Residential Contractor License. One of the alternative experience requirements is one year of experience as a worker, one-year of experience as a foreman, and two years of credits from accredited college-level courses. I will attach a link below with more information to obtain that license.

Hello Paul, Lee County is no longer regulating licenses. You will need to obtain a state-level Residential License. To use the experience you state above, you can provide documentation of the owner/builder permit you used to build your home. You will need to satisfy more requirements to qualify for the Florida Residential Contractor License. You can access the information on the link below.

Hello Mark,
There is no set time on how long the study process for your contractor license exam will take. It all depends on how much time you dedicate to study. To become a Commercial Pool Contractor in Florida, you need to pass the Trade and Business Exams, have four years of experience in the trade, and obtain worker's compensation and general liability coverage as well as public liability and property damage insurance. In addition, you are expected to have experience in the following areas:
-Commercial installation of the following pool components or Commercial Repair/Servicing and Residential Installation:
--Excavation, Grading, Backfill, Compacting
--Plumbing Components
--Electrical Components
--Shell Placement
--Deck Work
--Tile, Coping, and Trim Work
--Interior Surface Preparation and Finishing

Hello Carl,

We understand how crucial it is to ensure accuracy in your submission. We advise contacting the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) for precise, up-to-date information on the fee structure for connecting a Master's License to an Electrical Contractor in the State. It could be possible that it is not readily available at the moment. Doing so will help avoid any potential issues, as providing the correct amount on your money order is essential for the smooth processing of your forms.

Below, we will provide you with two official links to their customer service contact pages:
