Georgia Construction Industry Licensing Board
Division of Electrical Contractors ___________________________________________________________ Introduction
The Division of Electrical Contractors of the Georgia
Construction Licensing Industry Board was created by
the Georgia legislature to protect the public by taking
steps to ensure that licensed Electrical Contractors are
competent in their profession. To achieve this goal,
minimum standards and requirements were estab-
lished by the Board for entry into the profession.
Passing of a licensing examination is one of the require-
ments for obtaining an Electrical Contractors license.
Please review this bulletin carefully. It provides you
with information you need about the Electrical
Contractor examinations.
1.
Getting to the Examination
An examination admission notice will be mailed to
scheduled applicants two weeks prior to the exami-
nation. The notice will give the location, date, and
time of the examination. We recommend that you
locate the testing site and parking locations before
the morning of the examination. Allow extra time
on the morning of the examination to find parking
and remember that most lots do charge a fee.
Parking fees vary from location to location.
2.
Veterans Preference Points
Georgia law [General Provisions Volume 30, Title
43-1-9.(1)(2)(3)] provides that veterans meeting
certain conditions are eligible for the addition of
five to ten points to their examination scores. To
qualify, veterans must have served for a minimum
of one year in active duty status, and must have
served during a period of conflict or war for a
minimum of 90 days. The law provides that you
may also qualify for veterans preference points if
you were discharged for injury or illness incurred
in the line of duty and your disability is officially
rated. To apply for veterans preference points, if
you have not already submitted a DD-214 form and
documentation of your disability (if applicable),
you may bring a copy of this information to the
examination site and turn it in to the examination
proctor. Please note that the copy will not be
returned to you.
