Steel erection covers technical subjects involving structural installation, site safety, cranes, welding, bolting, anchoring, drilling, and decking. Fabrication and design preparation involve construction drawings, steel components, materials, and connection methods.
This package offers the listed structural steel trade references and Application Accelerator. It does not include a separate Business and Finance examination preparation course.
The Florida Structural Steel Specialty Contractor Trade Knowledge Examination is an open-book test. Candidates may use technical publications authorized under Florida's official examination reference requirements.
Open-book preparation involves much more than bringing construction manuals to the testing center. Candidates must understand how reference books are organized, recognize the subject of a technical question, locate relevant information, and interpret the applicable construction requirements.
For example, questions involving structural welding may require familiarity with AWS D1.1/D1.1M, while questions involving welding symbols may require AWS A2.4:2020.
Steel member properties, section tables, and connection information may require consultation of the Steel Construction Manual. Construction safety questions may involve OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926.
Florida permits highlighting and underlining in authorized references while restricting handwritten notes, typewritten notes, movable tabs, and unauthorized inserted materials.
The state's 2026 Structural Steel examination reference list specifies the 2023 Florida Building Code - Building as the edition used to develop examination answers. This package supplies the 2026 edition listed in the product contents. Florida's reference rules allow earlier or later editions of authorized publications at the candidate's risk because content may differ between editions.
Becoming familiar with technical indexes, tables, diagrams, welding provisions, and code organization supports more effective reference-based examination preparation.
