Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about contractor licensing, exam preparation, and the services we offer.

What is your “Guaranteed to Pass” Policy?

Our Pass Guarantee is available to all students who purchase the PRO Package. If you don’t pass your exams on the first attempt, we’ll provide a free additional live session within the year and a free 3-month extension of your online courses. To qualify, you must attend all live classes in your session, attempt all required exams within the 12-month course access period, and submit your score reports within 90 days of course expiration.

Why don’t you offer highlighted books?

The Florida state licensing exams are timed, open-book exams, making strong book navigation skills essential for success. Our expert instructors have found that when students personally highlight their books, they gain a deeper understanding of the material and become more confident in locating key sections quickly. This hands-on preparation ensures students are fully equipped to navigate their books efficiently during the exam.

What do I bring on exam day?

Admission Slip: Required for entry.
