Preparation for examinations

For the exam, remember…

To carefully read the instructions on the Examinations: instructions and resultspage before showing up at your exam.

To help you prepare for examinations, the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) makes available information sheets and competency profiles for each field of qualification.  The information sheets contain, among other things, information on the purpose of the examination, an overview of the examination’s content, and the legislative enactments and standards that you need to study.  The competency profiles group together the sets of skills and abilities expected of potential contractors or owner-builders, as per the selected licence class or subclass(es). The general examinations (the same for all contractors), as well as the examinations on the carrying out of construction work (for specific subclasses), deal with subjects associated with these skills and abilities.  Click on a topic to scroll down to the information you want.
