Contractor Exam Prep Courses

Have you wanted to get your Contractor’s license?

Well, one of the first things you need to do is to take the Florida’s Contractor’s License Exam.

Most of these exams are computer-based exams administered by Pearson Vue which are given 6 days a week. You will still need to register for the exam with Professional Testing, Inc (PTI).

After signing up to take the exam, we recommend that our students buy their books. Since the exam is an open book exam, we feel that the more familiar the students are with the books, the better they do on the exam.

Finally, you might think about taking a class. We offer classes for most license categories and each are listed below.

We offer exam prep courses for the following Contractor’s Licenses
  • General / Builder / Residential Contractors
  • Roofing Contractors
  • Underground Utilities Contractors
  • Plumbing Contractors
  • Mechanical / Air A / Air B / Sheet Metal Contractors
  • Solar Contractors
  • Pollutant Storage Contractors
  • Glass & Glazing Contractors
  • Commercial / Residential / Service Pool Contractors
  • Marine Specialty Contractors
  • Business & Finance Only Exam Prep

All of our exam prep courses are very similar in structure and layout.

  • We will spend time in each class discussing book layout, key sections and do some highlighting.
  • We will also create and show solutions to math problems that are similar to what the state has on the exam, where applicable.
  • You will also take timed tests in class and receive tests for to take home and practice.
  • Finally, we will discuss the mental preparation that you need to pass this exam as well as discuss the layout, format and administration of the exam.
For more information about licensing requirements, the exam and our school, or to check availability of classes offered, please contact us at 1-866-350-BEES (2337).

Commercial / Residential / Service Pool Contractor’s Exam Prep

There are three licenses which we have collectively included under this section for pool contractors.

The total 4-day courses would include 2-days of Business & Finance and 2-days of Trades. Each license would be conducted as a separate 2-day Trades course in order to cover the unique aspects with each.

Since this is now offered as a computer-based exam, students need to call in to our office to work out a possible class date for Trades classes. As a result, there may only be one student in a class at a time.
