Contractors are the ones who are responsible for the daily inspection of a construction site, and often for hiring of individual trades. To become a licensed contractor, you must take an exam with the state you want to work in. Then after you pass the exam, you are now required to renew your license and take a Contractor Continuing Education for every year or biannual depending on your state.
