Revive your old license number without showing work experience.

As a former licensee, the Board makes it easy for you to get your old license number back. They don’t require work experience, even if it’s been more than five, or ten, or twenty years since you last had your license number.

You do, however, have to appear for both Law and Trade tests again. But with regards to how strict the Board has been with their work experience requirements for new applicants, not having to show documentation proof of work experience is a huge relief.

CFC Certificate Now Required for C-20 & C-38 Contractors

The CSLB is now asking for C-20 HVAC and C-38 Refrigeration Contractors who are applying for a new license to show their EPA CFC Certification. The Board had started asking this certification from first-time licensees before, but have now changed their requirement to include contractors who already hold the C-20 and C-38 classifications. Only Type II or Universal CFC Certificates are accepted. This certification is governed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and contractors can acquire one through their local schools. CFC stands for Chlorofluorocarbon and is required by the EPA to make sure anyone who handles coolants, refrigerants or other like chemicals have gone through the proper training to ensure proper handling, recycling and disposal. 

Renewals are not affected by this requirement.
