2. Military service credit: If applicable, Fla. Stat. § 489.1131 allows credit for relevant military training and education toward experience requirements.

3. Pass the examination: You must pass the Florida electrical contractor exam administered by the state licensing board.

4. Submit application: Apply directly to the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board with proof of experience, exam passage, and any required fees.
