A welding contractors license allows a contractor to perform welding work that causes metals to become permanently attached, joined and fabricated by the use of gases and electrical energy, which creates temperatures of sufficient heat to perform this work.
Before you can apply for your welding contractors license, you must meet the following experience requirements:
Every applicant has to pass the Law & Business exam and the Trade exam before the license is issued.
