Editorial recommendation: sell as general trade/code practice, not a national journeyman licensing exam.
State rows distinguish verified contractor or specialty alternatives from an unverified journeyman-equivalent credential. A verified alternative is not a verified match to this product.
Adopted construction code and exam references are separate fields. Never infer one from the other or transfer one state's vendor/eligibility to another.
No single national question count, time limit, section weighting or passing score applies. Catalog defaults are product practice settings only.
Bank-by-bank question accuracy and full objective coverage were not audited in this research.
See every not verified state field and its reason before making consumer-facing claims.
Verification sources and scope
Verified: Editorial cross-jurisdiction synthesis: these state-specific licensing systems do not form one national journeyman exam. Current product should remain general-practice; precise official facts and gaps are field-cited in stateRows. Confirmed in the cited official source.
Preparing, qualifying, passing, receiving
- Preparing: CodeReady provides independent study materials.
- Qualifying: Meet the issuer’s eligibility, application, experience, and training requirements separately.
- Passing: Complete the required official assessments; a practice percentage is not an official result. OSHA Outreach requires authorized training, not a CodeReady test.
- Receiving: Only the responsible issuer can award the credential or card after its requirements are met. Buying or completing this bank does not confer one.
