Arizona 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-11 Steel and Aluminum Erection - Field fabrication, erection, repair, and alteration of architectural and structural steel and aluminum materials common to the industry, including field layout, cutting, assembly and erection by welding, bolting, wire typing or riveting.
R-17 Structural Steel and Aluminum - Installation and repair of architectural and structural shapes and members common to the industry, including reinforcing steel which may be used as structural members for buildings, equipment, and structures.
The trade test is considered equivalent for these classifications and upon passing the CBME and trade exam, either license classification may be applied for without further testing.
