Louisiana states that if an individual holds a license in any other state for a classification that required a trade exam to be passed, LA will accept that exam for reciprocity for whatever classification LSLBC deems to be equivalent.
The examination is made up of 80 multiple-choice questions which are equally weighted. You will have four hours to complete this examination. This is a closed-book exam. You will be provided with a calculator and pencils for use during the examination.
American Contractors currently does not offer a seminar to prepare for the Louisiana Municipal and Public Works Construction Contractor.
