COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This is an informational course to prepare you for the Business and Trades portions of the state examination for the Alabama Home Building license. This course guides you through the registration process for the exam with PSI Examination Services, Inc., the application for the license, and what you must study to pass the exam.
The state exam consists of 80 questions.
Business and Law --- You must study the law and general business information. We have provided a copy of the parts of the law that will be included on the exam. Be sure to read the underlined parts at least twice. We have also included many sample questions similar to the type that are asked on the exam. We cannot provide you with the same exam questions so we make sure the same topics are covered.
Practical Aspects of Building --- Study all text, sample questions and illustrations in the training material thoroughly, including the International Residential Code Compliance List. It is important that you also review the Glossary of Terms at the end of the manual. You will be tested on terms and definitions.
