### Who issues the Application and Business Filing Services license or certification in Virginia?

It comes from the Board for Contractors at the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR). Buying a package here does not register you or make you eligible; the board approves you first, and the exam vendor schedules the test.

### Do I need the 8-hour pre-license course for a Application and Business Filing Services license?

Yes. Every Class A, B and C applicant completes 8 hours of pre-license education before the Board for Contractors issues the license. For Class A and B it is taken by the designated employee or a member of responsible management.

PSI charges $40 for one portion, $72 for two portions and $85 for three, paid to PSI. The fee is separate from the license application fee the board charges.

### Are these the real exam questions?

No. Licensing exam questions are confidential. The courses and practice exams are original material written to the same subjects and format, with explanations that point to the reference section.

### How do the books and courses arrive?

Printed and rental books ship from our fulfillment center, 1 Exam Prep. Online courses and practice exams arrive by email after purchase, so you can start the same day. Call (877) 775-9400 with any question first.
