That's great man! I became a state CGC at 23 in Fl in 1999. My experience was carpenter from age 15- 23. I held a journeymans carpentry certification at 19 and was a high-rise Structural Superintendent for 2 year. ( So other can see how I qualified for the test). The longest test I ever took lol. Good luck to anyone going for their license. It can be a fulfilling career.

This is a very good video as for the information it gives for passing the exam. The test actually has little to do with your level of experience in the construction industry, and everything to do with taking the test. Its an open book test, meaning you can look up the answers, but time is also a big consideration. No doubt those who have college degrees have an advantage in that they are more experienced in testing. I had 40 years experience in the home building business, in a state where there are no licensing requirements. When i moved to Florida, i applied for a license and was accepted for the exam. I had not prepared at all, nor did i purchase any books, and i failed the test by one point. I bought the books, prepared for another test and passed it easily. Shortly after that my son moved to Florida, he had 15 years experience in the industry, he passed the first time, because he prepared for the test by studying the books.

Hi Jessie and hope your day is going well and by the plan. I had a Viriginia Class A Contractors license for over 35 years an decided to move to Fl about three years ago and a Va contractors license is not accepted in Fl. I am now missing the contracting biz to no end and have decided to get my Fl license. I greatly appreciate the detail and specificity in your presentation and you answered all of my questions perfectly. My plan is to get my Residential Contractors license since my passion is historic restorations. In Va I lived in historic Charlottesville, Va and worked on Thomas Jefferson's Monticello home and also worked in historic Williamsburg Va and now hoping there are enough historic homes here in SW Florida in need of TLC. Thanks again for your very professional presentation which I am putting to work as we speak!!

Been watching alot of your video's. Started looking up how to read blueprints just to possibly gain some general knowledge and came across one of your videos. Since ive watched 4 or so. Keep it up bud, your doing a great job, putting lots of good knowledge out there. I actually live in Putnam county but ive been working in jax since i was a small kid. My dad used to own a construction company when i was young so I've been learning from a young age much like you. Im about to start a new job tho, within a week or so as a superintendent assistant. The job was offered by a good friend that lives in Pennsylvania and plans to travel to Florida soon to start the job. Ill be starting it with him. My back ground is between stucco and masonry to electrical, low voltage and mechanical. My friend has alot of faith in me, and granted i have faith that the good Lord gave me gifts but im not too sure of my knowledge and how in depth my knowledge has to be to do this job. So not trying to be too long with this "comment" but my question to you Jesse is do you have any advice to share with me going into this field? Ive been doing electrical for right at 5 years now but im 33 and ive done construction for all the past 17 years and i honestly dont know what to think about the job. Im very excited but very intimidated aswell. Anything would be appreciated. And most importantly i didnt really elaborate as much as i wanted to but i read were someone commented in a previous video somewhere saying that you were "truly inspiring" and thats a great description bud. You really do have a great upbeat attitude and the correct knowledge and you enjoy sharing that knowledge. Thats pretty much why ive started watching your videos. Not to mention its faith based. So anyways, great job, keep up the great work.

Good video, FL isn't much different in VA and in some other states I'm licensed in. The tests really come down to "did you read and study the books, great now go find it" The one thought I had looking back at the exams I took over 20 years ago is. Many of the questions are related to what Architects are suppose to be telling us via plans and specifications. Once you pass your exams, you will now know when the architect is "blowing smoke" LOL. I hear the term "qualifier" regarding contractors licenses in FL. maybe an video on that would be interesting since I find it very confusing. Thanks for the video!

To add one more thought; it's pretty scary when 4 years of college and a year of experience will qualify you to be a GC. I often hear an new PM with a 4 year degree say "I learned more about construction in one month on the job than I learned in 4 years of school" I suppose that isn't limited only to construction.
