(CCR Section 825) A foreman or supervisor is a person who has the knowledge and skills of a journeyman and directly supervises construction projects. A contractor is an individual who is currently a licensed California contractor, a former licensed California contractor, personnel of record on a California license, or an out-of-state licensed contractor.

Any licensee whose signature appears on a falsified Certification of Work Experience form, or who otherwise certifies false or misleading experience claims submitted by an applicant to obtain a contractor license, will be subject to disciplinary action.
