Alaska Residential Endorsement Test Prep


What is the Contractor Test Prep?

Our contractor test prep series is designed to help individuals fulfill the requirements to obtaining the residential endorsement license for the state of Alaska.  There are two things required to obtain your residential endorsement in the state of Alaska; first you must take a 16 hour cold climate course and second you must pass a 100 question exam offered by PSI.  Once these two pre-requisites are fulfill you can submit your application to the state of AK and they will issue you a residential endorsement license. 

The Classes
Wisdom & Associates, Inc. offers a Building Techniques for Cold Climates course offered before exams in Anchorage and on varying dates in other communities throughout the state.  This class is 16 hours and comes with a 100 page full color text that makes an excellent reference manual after the class is over.  Additionally Wisdom & Associates, Inc. offers a Residential Endorsement Test Prep course which covers  material pertinent to the residential endorsement exam.  This course also comes with a full color reference manual that will make studying for the exam simple, yet effective.  We have a guaranteed pass policy on this class if you take it in conjunction with our Building Techniques for Cold Climates course before your scheduled exam. 

Guarantee Pass Policy

Continuing education credits for the Building Techniques for Cold Climates class can only be given at the initial class.  The exam offered by PSI must be taken within 10 days of completion of this class for the guaranteed pass to be valid.  No monetary amount for the class, PSIc's test, travel expenses or similar costs can be refunded, reimbursed or credited upon passing or failing the exam.

Valid Exam & Cold Climate Class
It is important to remember that if you are applying for your Residential Endorsement license there are some time frames that you will want to consider before taking the required exam and class. You must obtain your Cold Climate class certificate within the last two years of applying for your Residential Endorsement and you must have passed your Residential Endorsement exam within the last year of applying for your Residential Endorsement license.  If you fail to obtain your Residential Endorsement license within these time frames you will be required to take the Exam and/or the Cold Climate class again to apply for the license.
