Years ago, I saw an advertisement (I live in California) about a contractor's license for sale for $5000.00. This was a commercial, possibly on television, addressed to the general public. Is this possible? Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? How legit would it be?

Are you thinking about buying it? :cheesygri

 

[adrian]

I'm definitely interested......

Do you think it is possible?

To be honest I doubt it, Cali is really tough on contractors. I bet it is a scam. Why not just go take the exam and get licensed by the state?

In IL, liscences are not transferrable from person to person. Theya re transferrable as the "qualifying party" from company to company.

That means if I am a liscenced roofer, I can go to any roofing company I want and they would be a liscenced roofing company, but once I leave their employment, they are no longer liscenced... but I still am liscenced.

IMHO, sounds like they're selling the "legal services" to get you set up with a license.

I have never heard of anyone 'selling' a contractors license. It belongs to the individual that earned it, the same as a university degree. Come to think of it you CAN buy the latter, why not the former?
Not seeing the ad, I'm guessing that it was for a contractors mill, an accelerated course dedicated to getting you to pass the test. I also see them for Captains licenses and flight schools. 4-6 wks and you're a boat captain, pilot or contractor.

You can buy a university degree?

 

[TimWieneke]

You can buy a non-accredited university degree. It's worth crap to anyone that pays enough attention to research it. Some people just don't.
