Pass the Master Contractor's Exam

What happens here

The final step to becoming a Master in your trade is to pass the Master Contractor's Exam. To be eligible for this exam, you generally need to be at least 21 years old and have a minimum of four years of experience in your trade (often implying four years as a Journeyman). Some states or municipalities may also require a specific number of documented work hours. The Master's Exam is comprehensive, testing your advanced knowledge of trade codes, regulations, practical applications, and business principles. Successfully passing this exam grants you a Master license, allowing you to work unsupervised, bid on larger projects, start your own contracting business, and significantly increase your earning potential. This is where you make the 'big bucks' in the trade field.
