License Workshops


License Application Workshops conducted by the Mississippi State Board of Contractors are a new outreach initiative designed to provide would-be applicants with the essential information they need to navigate the Commercial or Residential application process. These workshops provide an inside preview of the inner workings of MSBOC’s licensing procedures.
Topics include classifications of work, qualifications and experience, insurance requirements, financial requirements, business and law, as well as other need-to-know subjects. If you’re planning to apply for a Mississippi Contractor’s License, this workshop is sure to boost your confidence and understanding and give you a leg up over those who’ve not taken advantage of this valuable outreach resource.
If you’re interested in finding out more or attending an upcoming MSBOC License Application Workshop, contact our Outreach Coordinator, Kate Hilliard, at kate@msboc.us.
And, to stay on top of all our outreach efforts, we invite you to sign up for our newsletter.

Practical examples will reinforce compliance with residential contractor laws and regulations and help prevent processing delays and lapses in licensure.
