Classifications
DISCLAIMER: The following are classifications of licensure offered by MSBOC. There may be additional requirements by other agencies. As a courtesy, MSBOC has tried to note the classifications that may involve additional requirements. However, it is the contractor’s responsibility to keep abreast of law and regulation changes and/or requirements from other agencies.
Major classifications are UNDERLINED. Holding a major classification entitles the license holder to perform the specialty classifications noted beneath each major classification category. Applicants who do not desire a major classification may choose an unlimited number of specialty classifications. One selection is included with the application fee, but each additional selection requires an additional $100 fee. Fees are non-refundable. Classifications that require an exam are noted in RED. Please contact a licensing agent for questions or additional information.
