Do you yourself have to be the qualifying party to take the exam for the test? Or can you hire someone on to take the exam and would the contractors license still be in your name? Follow up question what if the person with the experience does decide to stop working with you does that invalidate your license?
Hello Santana. The qualifying party would be the one who has to take the examination. The license would be in their name or under the name of a company, they are associated with. In the event that person left the company, a new qualifier would be needed. You can refer to the AROC website here: roc.az.gov/applying-license

And how does the whole process take to get my general contracting license realistically. I’ve been working since I was 13 and have contractors to vouch for me.

Hi! I had a quick question about obtaining the license. Is it possible to obtain the license and have an employee who does not have one work under you? In other words, would your license cover your employees as well?
Yes, that is correct. If you have a business holding a license, your employees would not need their own licenses as long as they are working under your business/license.
