Air Conditioning Contractor License Exam

Exam Information:

In the State of Florida, contractors must pass both Business & Finance and Trade Knowledge examinations with a minimum score of 70%. These tests may be taken in any order, but since the Business & Finance books and study material are required for both exams (for many, but not all license classifications), it is much easier to prepare, pass, and get this exam completed first.

(1) Business & Finance Exam — "Computer Based Test"

This is an "Open Book Test" utilizing 3 exam reference books with (120) scored multiple choice questions to be completed in a (6 ½) hour test session. It is administered on computer at over a thousand Pearson VUE testing centers across the country, and students may schedule the exam at any location and on any date convenient for them.

(2) Air Conditioning Trade Knowledge Exam — "Paper & Pencil Test"

Class A and Class B contractors must pass two "Open Book Tests", each with 65 scored multiple choice questions, which must be completed in 4 ¾ hour sessions. Testing for this classification is offered every even month in Tallahassee, Orlando and Miami. Students must register at least 30 days prior to the testing date they desire.
