Updated for 2026 CSLB Standards

A California contractor school built for people who work full time.

We're a small team of licensed contractors and instructors. We put together the Law & Business and trade study material for the CSLB exam, keep it current with the code, and answer questions directly. No fluff, no filler, no call center behind us.

Who's behind the course

Built by California contractors, not a marketing team.

Every lesson, practice question, and code citation is written by people who've held CSLB licenses and worked California job sites. When the code updates, we update the course. When you email support, a contractor reads it, not a chatbot.

  • Curriculum mapped to the current CSLB exam blueprint
  • Citations to B&P Code, Title 24, and Cal/OSHA on every lesson
  • Direct email support, Mon–Fri, replies within one business day
