Yes. Any low voltage project valued at $1,000 or more in labor and materials requires a C-7 Low Voltage Systems Contractor License issued by the CSLB. This license ensures you're legally qualified to install, service, and maintain communication, data, audio, and other low voltage systems in California. The license is also required for projects under $1,000 if the work requires any type of permit or if the unlicensed individual hires other workers to assist.
To get your C-7 license, you must meet the CSLB requirements, submit your application, and pass two exams - the Law & Business exam and the Low Voltage Trade exam. Our program walks you through every step to make the process simple and stress-free.
With our program, most students earn their C-7 Low Voltage License within 6 to 8 weeks, depending on CSLB processing times.
Our C-7 prep courses include a 100% Pass Exam Money-Back Guarantee. If you take our In-Class or Live Streaming course and don't pass, we'll even cover your retest fee.
Get expert guidance with your CSLB application and exam preparation so you can get licensed quickly and grow your business with confidence.
