Contractor experience hours tracker
The experience requirement is the step that most often kills an application years after the work was done — not because the hours were not worked, but because nobody can be found to sign for them. This is the record that prevents that.
Boards verify experience; they do not take your word for it. Record the person who can attest to each period while you can still reach them.

Hours are computed from the dates and the hours-per-week you enter, at 52 weeks a year. Boards differ on what counts — supervised versus self-employed time, and whether a client attestation is acceptable — so treat this as your record, and the board's instructions as the rule.
§ 1What this records
Periods of work, the hours each one represents, and — the field that matters — who can attest to it. Everything stays in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
§ 2What counts
Two conditions, and both have to hold. The work must be in the classification you are applying for: fifteen years of framing does not evidence an electrical application. And somebody with standing must be able to confirm it — usually a licensed contractor or a supervisor, sometimes a client where you were self-employed.
Name the verifier while you can still reach them.
Companies close, supervisors retire, and the person who could have signed for a 2021 period is often unreachable by the time you file in 2026. A name, a number and a licence reference in this record now is worth more than the hours themselves.
§ 3Using it with an application
Print it and attach it to your own file. Boards have their own certification forms and will not accept this in place of one — but filling their form is a transcription job when you already hold the dates, the roles and the verifiers in one place.
