Nevada Application Processing
Confirm This Is the Right License for Your Work
Every state licensing board defines the exact project types, sizes, and trades that fall under each contractor classification. Review the scope below to make sure this license matches the work you actually do — then enroll in the seminar that prepares you for that exam the first time.
A person who holds a classification C-5 license may: - Prepare the surface and place reinforcement steel and other embedded materials essential to or comprising an integral part of the concrete or concrete construction; - pour, place, finish and install concrete; - construct and assemble forms, molds, slipforms and pans, apply concrete sealants and other waterproofing products; and - saw, cut, drill and core concrete and asphaltic paving material.
License Requirements
Applicants must submit an application to the state licensing board to obtain approval before being eligible to take the exam.
A Business Law exam is also required.
Applicants must be able to document a minimum of four (4) years of experience within the past 10 years to qualify for a license. This experience must be as a Journeyman, foreman, supervising employee or contractor. Education may be used to satisfy a portion of the required experience. Applicants must also submit 4 reference certificates concerning their work experience and submit to a background check.
All applicants must submit current financial statements to the state licensing board. Monetary limits are set based on financial standing. If seeking a financial limit less than $1,000,000 the statement must be compiled, reviewed or audited by a CPA, self-prepared on a form provided by the Board, or using accounting software and accompanied by an affidavit. When seeking a monetary limit of $1,000,000 or more, the financial statement must be reviewed and audited by a CPA.
Reciprocity
The state of Nevada has a reciprocity agreement with California, Arizona, and Utah. There is no reciprocity for the plumbing and electrical trades. Applicants must have at least 7 years of experience and meet all licensing requirements.Continuing Education

The Concrete exam is a multiple choice, open-book, timed test. There are 60 questions and a 2-hour time limit. A minimum of 42 questions (70%) must be correct to pass the exam. You will receive your score immediately following the exam.
