Well of course it does, all GC's need to know part 9.

"THEY" told you the test has to do with part 9. Ohhhhh.now I understand what you're saying.I think. The Designer exam was tough.the GC license was a walk in the park, the hardest part was just waiting for your number to get called up (Show up 1/2hr early) in the morning to sign in.they call numbers based on the sign in sheet and that 1/2 hr will save you 2 hrs. I think it's great news though, I've been waiting for them to crack down.:thumbsup: I'm really surprised they're making GC's pass a part 9 exam.I never heard the news. You don't need to take the class, but if you're not familiar with the OBC I'm sure it helps. I think George Brown offers something like a 40 hr class on part 9 (It's an essential section that applies to a lot of trades and home inspectors have to pass the class with a 70% - like designers- as a criterion for getting certified). I'm really surprised that they're changing that, unless you misunderstood the category that you're trying to qualify for. Now, I got my Renovator license before I got my BCIN.they didn't require me to pass an OBC exam (part 9 or anything). I'm also a Municipal Licensed Designer (BCIN) under the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in the "House" category, which was 50% just Part 9 of the OBC (2006). If you pass, they send you a laminated card (way oversized to fit in your wallet) and a paper license that accompany's the card with your license and trade number on it. Bring proof/documentation of your experience/education/certificates/other licenses you hold. They will throw all sorts of questions at you and you better know the answers. The exam is basically a sit down 1/2hr-45 min with a building official (licensing examiner). Then they book you 2-3 months away from your "exam".
