Contractor license school
Our Central Valley office on North Abby Street, serving contractors from Bakersfield up to Modesto.
Contractors in Fresno
The Valley is agricultural country, and the contracting reflects it — well drilling, irrigation, earthwork, ag buildings and the residential work that follows the towns. We see classifications here that barely come up in the LA offices, like C-57 Well Drilling and C-61 subcategories.
It is also the office where the most business is conducted in Spanish. Every one of our locations is bilingual, but here it is the default rather than the exception.
Everything from picking the right classification to the contracts you use once you are licensed.
Law & Business and your trade exam, taught online with live Q&A every Wednesday. Study from home and come in when you have questions.
Online classesWe complete, check and file your CSLB application and experience verification. Bring what you have and we will tell you what is missing.
Paperwork processingMatching the license to the work you actually bid. Getting this wrong means redoing paperwork and retaking a trade exam.
ClassificationsLLC, corporation, DBA and EIN, set up so they match your license the way the CSLB and the Secretary of State require.
Business registrationHow to write and fill out a California home improvement contract, line by line. The only school in the state that teaches it.
