What is the NASCLA exam and how do I take it?

The National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies (NASCLA) exam is an accredited examination for contractor licensing, not an insurance licensing exam, and it is not a license or certification. Passing it eliminates the trade requirement for participating state contractor agencies, but candidates still apply with the state and meet its other requirements. The application fee is $65, applications are valid one year from approval, and candidates receive three attempts within that year; PSI administers the exams. Transcripts cost $45 each, and results never expire.
