Hello Nick thank you for this video. I would like to learn more about the resources you can offer for preparing for this test. How do I learn more? Im interested in zoom sessions or whatever. Let me know. Thanks
Nick, this is my second time watching your video. Grateful for the insight and well wishes to all who need this information. Lots of abundance to you and family.
This is by far the best video on how to pass the general contractor license exam! I have been going about this wrong and stressing! Now I am feeling confident I will pass the first time! Thanks!
Thanks. I’m my area you don’t need to licensed but registered. Crazy how little help anyone there is. I called and wanted to test but all I got was why? You don’t need it in your city. I plan of taking all of them eventually. Great video. Congrats on passing yours
Thanks Nick for spreading the information, I started doing fix n flips since mid 2022, I am facing lot of challenges finding reliable contractors Now I'll be getting my own license in 10 days Thanks a lot again ❤❤
Great info bro !! Thank you 🙏 Here in MN they do the test based on the Minnesota Residential Code book , which is being made and approved from the IRC book
Hi, I just started doing my studies. I bought the Minnesota Residential Code 2020. I google it and this was what was available. I have 0 knowledge on codes. I being doing exterior remodeling only for a couple of years. I'm in Eden P. MN. Just reaching out to see where people around my state test or any tips. Thanks good luch.
@@JoseRamirez-si2yh you are gonna be fine studying that one bro , but you also need to study this one www.dli.mn.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/rbc-manual.pdf Unfortunately you can not bring your own to your test , DLI will provide you the MN Code book and the RBC manual from MN as well as, that’s the one on the link above, good luck bro 👍
Hey Nick. This is great. I am on the ICC Safe Dashboard and having troubles finding the G13 practice test. Where specifically is that located? I have searched in a variety of places and keeping getting "not found". Thanks for your help.
This is great, thank you! I just bought the book and will be taking an exam prep class; I have no experience whatsoever and I have been looking all over TH-cam for tips, especially after going through the book myself. Feeling a lot better after your tips/recommendations. Thank you!

Thanks Nick for the video! Can you provide a link to the online study guide and companion with practice test? The website is really unfriendly for me, thanks!
The website is terrible. I can’t link the test directly because you have to sign up for an account (it’s free). Go to the ICCsafe.org website-at the top right you’ll see a little grid icon, click that go to the ‘my ICC’ tab. Create an account. This will take you to your ‘my ICC’ dashboard. Once inside you’ll scroll to the menu on the left and click on training. This is where it gets weird. If your looking to be a residential contractor (class c) you wanna buy the 2021 residential building inspector b1 study guide. It has the practice tests and study companion all in one. So, I’m the training section search for that course. It’s $89. Even though it has the word building inspector in the title it’s all the same for general contractors. That’s the weird part. That’s the one that I used for my residential general contractor license. You’ll be good. Hopefully that helps. If you still have questions once your in gimme a shout and I gotchu. Have a beer and work through those practice tests 🤙🏼

very interesting, is what states is this valid in? ive never seen this classification in my state before (Nevada) ive only heard on the B class b-1 and b-2
Those IRC & IBC books are not listed on the website as approved books to take to the exams here in Florida. I just bought all the new books 2023 to do the test after July 1st. Any suggestion about a good online course or test prep would really appreciate it. Thanks
I have a class C (g13) currently, and I figured going for a class A (g11) will allow me to take on any project.. is this thinking correct? For some reason the class B (g12) sounds more wide spread in terms of projects I can take on, given it’s for both commercial and residential. JUST ASKING IN GENERAL, as I’m sure it is location dependent. (I live in NE and there is no state-based test)
Im trying to get my CL for Countertop Installation. Ive researched a little bit. I believe its the C-54. Do i need a different book? I also know that license is also for tile. Does this means i need tile experience?? Im confused

It’s quite terrifying lol. You cannot bring it in. Only textbooks are allowed. If your taking your residential contractor exam you don’t need the concrete manual. Otherwise get your money back and buy the hard cover book off Amazon

Hey, it depends if you're hired as an independent contractor or an employee. If they hire you as an independent contractor you'll need your own insurance, if you're an employee they'll provide it for you.
When you say practice test, do you mean the Study Companion? I am looking for appropriate test material for the G11 and it looks like they have some practice test for IBC 2018 but not the Concrete Manual.
Yes. The study companion offered on the icc website includes a practice test. If you are looking for the IBC material 'commercial' you want to purchase the 2021 commercial building inspector study material on the icc website
Is it possible to get the license without experience? Everything in Florida says you need 4 years. I’ve only had experience building two owner / builder homes for myself
They word it different on the website-you want to buy the ‘2021 residential building inspector b1 study guide.’ It may seem weird but that’s the one you want 🤙🏼
@nickjbogard is I may come in. DPOR is the licensing agency for skilled trades in Virginia. Google or and it'll take you to the website that gives all the details on licensing. My concern is in doing research and I'm finding mixed signals. Some say class C is no test, only a business class. Others say there is a test.
@SlickJWilly same here. I was reading the same. But I called DPOR to clarify and you have to take an exam. The 8 hour pre licensing course is just mandatory to take before the exam. Each trade has a different exam. I'm doing general contracting so I'm doing the residental home building.
@@turboskywalker9108 this is exactly the same for me. I was wondering if you can help me with what book I should get to study. I tried calling psi multiple times but they are not much help. I would appreciate it a lot if you guys can share with me what you’re using to study. Thank you
@nickjbogard that's crazy. It's like they're setting you up to fail. We're in MA and they gave us the 2015 ICC but after watching your video I ordered the 2021
@@cecillia6193I have the same question ! I will be taking courses with a certain school and they sent me 2021 books however the exam is based on 2015 book, not sure if it matters or changes anything?
I'm in San Antonio Texas is this the correct book I need? Pearson would not tell me what I had to buy. Do I need the International Residential Code book for the G-13
They do allow you to take the book with you into your test. You can have tabs and writing in your book as long as it's written on either a tab or the book itself. You cannot have any loose paper in your book though. Let me know if this helps
Hey I'm in NC I want to take the residential general contractor license exam but is hard to find information. The exam provider here is PSI do you know if that can be applied here? Any info will be helpful. Thanks!
Hey! I'm not familiar with psi but I checked out your area and you can use Pearson Vue as the testing center. It's what I used. Then yes if you use Pearson vue the info would apply. I'll put the link for you. When you get to there website click the a-z exam program list click on the 'I' - ICC International Code Council is what you want. They'll give selections to choose your state but click on 'national' wsr.pearsonvue.com/
General Contractor isn't the right term when your talking tests. General contractor is just a term we use to describe our field of work to the world. If you want to be a residential builder you need the IRC book (international residential code) if you want to do commercial work you need the IBC book (international building code). However if you pass your commercial builders license you can also build residential but it doesn't apply the other way around. You only need one of the two books but if your taking the commercial test you also need the concrete book

I’m In San Antonio also and my G13 is in 2 weeks.
Did you pass yours? How was it?
Appreciate any help 🙏

Is a general contractor license the same as a residential builder license or are they different?
Yes. They are the same
I need help, i Bought the course from gold coast school, but i am lost

Email me: blueprintaimedia@gmail.com
Good info👍👍
Thanks 👍
icc test wish one?
Email me blueprintaimedia@gmail.com
G13 is based off 2018 and I don’t understand why 2021
They use the updated version now.
Nick : confused . Do they allow you to take the book to the test? Is an open book test ????
They do allow you to take the book with you into your test. You can have tabs and writing in your book as long as it's written on either a tab or the book itself. You cannot have any loose paper in your book though. Let me know if this helps
Do you pay for the test?
Yes
Hey I'm in NC I want to take the residential general contractor license exam but is hard to find information. The exam provider here is PSI do you know if that can be applied here? Any info will be helpful. Thanks!
Hey! I'm not familiar with psi but I checked out your area and you can use Pearson Vue as the testing center. It's what I used. Then yes if you use Pearson vue the info would apply. I'll put the link for you. When you get to there website click the a-z exam program list click on the 'I' - ICC International Code Council is what you want. They'll give selections to choose your state but click on 'national' wsr.pearsonvue.com/
Is the test an open book test?
I was wondering the same thing 🤔
Yes. I offer a Zoom call where I can provide detailed assistance and answer any questions you might have.
gg glad you got it brother
My local code book references “change section” or “add section” a lot
Does this mean changes made from the previous code?
Yes. If you're looking in your code book and you see a black line by the code. That means it has been updated
would like to request a zoom call with you my man.

Don’t they ask you for experience when applying for a license?
Not to take the test. The county you apply to work in may. It varies
Hey how much would you charge me for the book you already prepared or if you can prepare one for me how much
If you purchase a book and ship to me I can prepare it for you…$275
I can’t find your email Nick but would very much be interested in this service. Can you give me your email so I can contact you.
@@nickjbogard what’s your email I would love to take you up on this. I can email you get an address and payment details.
I want the same
Me too
What state r u in?
Colorado
Anyone know if the IRC 2018 book is still adequate to test and study with?
You should be good, I’d check with your county first on which book they use. Every county is a little different
@@nickjbogard thank you. Just in case anyone else has the same question, I contacted them on 2/7/24 and the IRC2018 is still valid for testing.
Need help brother

But wouldn’t that make you just a Residential contractor? Don’t you need all the books to be a General contractor?
I’m in Florida by the way
General Contractor isn't the right term when your talking tests. General contractor is just a term we use to describe our field of work to the world. If you want to be a residential builder you need the IRC book (international residential code) if you want to do commercial work you need the IBC book (international building code). However if you pass your commercial builders license you can also build residential but it doesn't apply the other way around. You only need one of the two books but if your taking the commercial test you also need the concrete book
Interesting 🤔🤓
