A C-23 Ornamental Metal license (16 CCR §832.23) authorizes a contractor to assemble, cast, cut, shape, stamp, forge, weld, fabricate, and install brass, bronze, copper, cast iron, wrought iron, stainless steel, and other metals for the architectural and decorative treatment of structures. The classification is built around custom fabrication — a C-23 licensee is shaping and building a custom metal product, not simply installing a manufactured item to a standard method. This course covers the CSLB-outline C-23 trade exam plus Law & Business: a full study guide, 4 practice exams, and an explanation for every answer. Read the full C-23 License Guide for licensing requirements and the exam content breakdown.
