I have a Class A Air Conditioning Contractors License in Florida. I have been working for a Florida Mechanical Contractor for over 6 years. Can I qualify to take the Fire Sprinkler Contractors License in Florida?

Hello Robert,
I would recommend you to contact the State Licensing Board. Since your background is more for Air Conditioning, you would like to confirm it with them if possible for you to obtain the Fire Sprinkler License.

Hello Jose,

For Miami Dade County, they have licenses that do not need an exam. Finish Carpentry is apart of the list. You would need to contact Miami Dade County to apply. I will be sending you an email with more information about this.
