HI Muhmmad,

To obtain a General Contractor (GC) or light construction license without years of work under a licensed contractor, you typically need to complete the following steps:

• 1. Meet the eligibility requirements: Most states require applicants to be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma or equivalent, and pass a criminal background check.
• 2. Complete education or training courses: Most states require GC or light construction license applicants to complete a certain number of hours of education or training courses in relevant subjects such as construction laws, safety, and project management.
• 3. Pass a licensing exam: Many states require GC or light construction license applicants to pass a licensing exam to demonstrate their knowledge and competence in construction practices and regulations.
• 4. Provide proof of liability insurance: Most states require GC or light construction license applicants to provide proof of liability insurance to protect their clients in case of accidents or property damage.
• 5. Submit the license application and pay the fees: Finally, you will need to submit the license application and pay the required fees to the relevant state agency, such as the Contractors State License Board or the Department of Consumer Affairs.

Note that licensing requirements can vary by state, so it is important to check with the relevant agency in your area for specific requirements.
