A Class C contractor wants to upgrade to Class B. What is the minimum experience requirement in years for the qualifying individual?
Correct Answer
C) 4 years
Nevada requires the qualifying individual for a Class B contractor license to have a minimum of 4 years of experience in the construction industry.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Under NRS 624, the qualifying individual applying for a Class B contractor license must demonstrate a minimum of 4 years of verifiable experience in the construction industry. Class B licenses allow contractors to take on projects of unlimited value in general building and residential construction.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 3 years
3 years is insufficient for a Class B license. Three years may be associated with lower-tier or specialty license categories, but Class B requires 4 years.
Option B: 5 years
5 years is one year more than required and is not the minimum threshold set by NRS 624 for Class B. Candidates may guess higher numbers assuming more senior licenses require more experience, but the correct answer is 4 years.
Option D: 2 years
2 years is the minimum for the least demanding license categories. Class B requires more substantial experience — 4 years — reflecting its broader scope of work.
Memory Technique
B = 4: 'B' is the second letter of the alphabet... but think of it as 'B-4' — you need to work 4 years BE-FORE you can hold a Class B license.
