The Arizona Business Management Exam is required
This classification allows the licensee to apply or install weatherproofing (i.e. asphaltum, pitch, tar, felt, glass fabric, or flax) or roof accessories (i.e. flashing, valleys, gravel stops, or sheet metal) as required for the licensee to install or repair roof tile, shingles, shakes, slate, metal roofing systems, urethane foam, and roof insulation or coatings on or above the roof deck.
This classification allows the licensee to replace up to three sheets (96 square feet) of plywood on the roof substrate; and install new or replace existing skylights where it does not require changes to the roof framing or roof structure.
The trade test is considered equivalent for these classifications and upon passing the CBME and trade exam, either license classification may be applied for without further testing.
