TradePrepped is a free resource for trade professionals, students, and career changers who need clear, accurate licensing information without digging through dozens of .gov websites.
We cover 79 trades and professions across all 50 states and Washington, DC — from electricians and plumbers to real estate agents and CPAs. Every page includes licensing requirements, exam details, fees, renewal information, and salary data sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Licensing requirements are researched from official state licensing board websites, state statutes, and administrative codes. Salary data comes from the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program.
All data files are flagged with a verification date. Requirements change — we recommend always confirming with your state licensing board before beginning an application.
TradePrepped was built by a licensed electrician who got tired of the fragmented, hard-to-navigate licensing information scattered across state websites. We built the resource we wished existed when we were getting licensed.
