The licence bond is mandatory when applying for an RBQ licence. However, additional types of bonds may be required depending on the specific contract.
Whether you are a client or not, RBQ Compétence offers support for the following bonds:
- License bond (at the best price on the market)
- Residential Construction Guarantee (GCR) bond
- Consumer Protection Office bond (itinerant merchant)
- Bid and performance bonds.

Licence Application & Appointment
The application documents
At RBQ Compétence, you never have to worry about the administrative side of your licence application: we take full charge of preparing the complete file to be submitted to the RBQ, according to a schedule that works for you.
All that remains is for you to sign and wait for your appointment. Processing times vary, and we keep you updated directly in your study account.
EXAM SUMMONS
Once your RBQ licence application has been submitted, you will receive an official summons—by email or by mail—to complete the required exams. These exams are administered at an RBQ testing centre near you and are available Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The passing grade for each exam is 60%. The number of exams you must complete corresponds exactly to what was confirmed in Step 1 of the licence selection process.
Obtaining Your RBQ License
The RBQ License
A few weeks after completing your final exam, you will receive your grades by email or by mail.
The license is then issued and delivered to you at the same time as your exam results. From that point on, you may begin taking on your first contract.
To support you in the next steps, we provide all our clients with a series of practical documents covering the essential aspects of running a business:
- Accounting
- Quotations
- Marketing
- Legal and regulatory obligations
Liability Insurance
Insurance for your business
Before undertaking your first contract, it is essential to determine whether the work performed by your company must be covered by commercial insurance to ensure the long term viability of your business.
Liability insurance can be expensive and, for new businesses, sometimes difficult to obtain. At RBQ Compétence, we offer our students an exclusive package at a highly competitive rate, allowing you to launch your operations with complete financial peace of mind.
As with all our services, obtaining commercial insurance is straightforward — simply contact us.
