Qualifying experience typically includes hands-on work, training, or employment in your specific trade, as defined by the licensing board or testing authority. This may involve documented hours working under a licensed professional, relevant project involvement, or formal apprenticeships. Requirements vary by trade and state, so we recommend checking with your licensing board for specific criteria. RocketCert’s resources can help guide you through the documentation process to ensure your experience meets the necessary standards. RocketCert recommends reviewing the application requirements early, gathering documents like work experience records or certifications in advance, and using our resources to guide you through each step.
