The State of California does not recognize contractor licenses issued by other states. However, California does have reciprocal agreements with some states that recognize the experience qualifications for certain trades. If you have trade experience or a contractor license issued by another state or country and you want to contract for work in California, this experience may be acceptable. But you must apply for and be issued a contractor license by the California License Board. The course covers all areas necessary to pass the CSLB including the Law and Business examination. And we guarantee that you will pass the California landscape contractors license test.
