PROGRAM PREREQUISITES:
Formal training and education may be helpful for becoming a contractor, but not all employers require candidates to have it. Those with a degree in a relevant field, such as construction management or civil engineering, may earn advancement sooner than their non-degree competition. Many individuals who are interested in contracting learn the skills of the trade through hands-on training and working on a construction site. Many construction contractors gain their skills through apprenticeship programs sponsored by local companies, trade associations and trade unions.
Aspiring contractors do need to complete licensing courses, testing and continuing education, but the specifics vary by state and classification. Candidates typically need a minimum age of 18 years old. Topics that tests explore may include labor laws and regulations, project management and building codes.
