As of January 1st, 2026. The CAGC Foundation will be overseeing this certification process.

About Our Program

The CAGC SC Trade Certification card, formerly the Municipal Association Trade Certification card, is confirmation that a cardholder has satisfied the experience and written examination qualifications required by the Foundation to hold the level of certification indicated. This certification should not be confused with the South Carolina Mechanical Contractors License or the South Carolina Residential Builders Commission's Specialty Contractors License.

A tradesman interested in either of the above licenses should contact the appropriate agency as follows:

Contractors Licensing Board (for commercial work over $10,000)
Residential Builders Commission (for residential work over $500)

Trades Certification Terms of Service

The receipt and payment of a renewal invoice for participation in the CAGC SC Trade Certification Program indicates the certification holder’s agreement to the following terms of service:
1. The trade certification holder will not represent to anyone that the CAGC SC Trade Certification card is evidence of a license to engage in any particular trade or business or represents any evaluation by CAGC SC Trade Certification Program or warranty of the quality of the holder’s services.
2. The trade certification holder will not represent to anyone that the CAGC SC Trade Certification card represents proof of U.S. citizenship or of lawful presence in the United States.
3. The trade certification holder will not display, reproduce, or use the CAGC logo without prior written authorization from the CAGC SC Trade Certification Program. The only generally authorized use of the CAGC logo is on the face of a validly issued CAGC SC Trade Certification card, complete with the holder’s signature and the required disclaimers appearing on the reverse side of the card.
