Preparing for the Building Contractor Exams in Florida

Preparing to obtain your Florida Building Contractor License includes knowing what to expect!  Florida Certified Building Contractor License applicants are required to pass three separate exams: Business & Finance, Contract Administration, and Project Management. Each exam is computer-based and must be completed in one session. All Florida Residential Contractor License Exams are open-book, multiple-choice, and timed.  

What to Expect on the Florida Building Contractor Exams

There are three exams to pass to apply for a Florida Certified Building Contractor license. You must score a 70% or higher on each exam to pass.  

Building Contractor Exams Duration

  • Business & Finance Exam — 6.5-hour computer-based exam
  • Contract Administration — 4.5-hour computer-based exam
  • Project Management — 4.5-hour computer-based exam

All Florida Certified Building Contractor license exams are open-book, multiple-choice, and timed.  

Reference books should be brought to all three open-book exams. Permanent book tabs and highlighting/underlining, but no written notes, are allowed in books taken into the examinations.

You can take each exam at a state-approved testing facility and register directly with them. We recommend splitting the tests over three separate days, as each exam is quite lengthy; splitting them up likely gives you the best chances for success. You will be charged a $135 registration fee by Professional Testing and an $80 exam site admin fee per exam.  

You can learn more about the content of each exam, testing policies, and scheduling with the exam proctor on the Florida DBPR website linked here.
