Becoming a contractor requires passing an exam.Â
Unfortunately, most people quickly discover that taking an exam is not the same as doing the work. Even decades of hands-on experience won’t prepare you to get a passing grade.
Maybe you’ve already found this out the hard way. You’ve taken and failed the exam or you started preparing for it and got completely overwhelmed — having no idea where to start or how to study.
That’s where we come in. Our on-site and online seminars prepare you to pass the NASCLA, State Building, or State Residential General Contractor exams and move on to doing the work you love.
How we help you take the contractor's exam with confidence:

Taking this seminar with Andrew has been a game changer for me. I came in with a lot of fear and doubt, and left feeling confident and ready to prepare for the exam. I feel like I have a path paved now to follow me to success. Extremely grateful for Andrew and his team. Would highly recommend if you're looking to get your GC!

I just wrapped up my seminar with Andrew and I finally feel like I have the right tools and direction to study for this test. For the past month, l've been working through an online course I purchased, but honestly, I felt disorganized and nothing was sticking. I even relied on audiobooks, only to discover that the exam changes too frequently for those tracks to stay up to date, meaning I had been listening to outdated information.
What made this seminar so valuable was learning practical tricks for navigating the books, ways to quickly find what I need without feeling overwhelmed. That alone was a game changer.
Another highlight for me was realizing I was one of only seven women in the room, which I thought was pretty cool. Andrew kept the atmosphere light with humor while still being incredibly informative and supportive throughout.
Feeling much more focused now, and I'll share an update once I take the exam 🙂

I cannot recommend the National Contractors Seminars NASCLA North Carolina exam prep class enough!
This course was an absolute game-changer for me. Andrew is an incredible instructor who breaks down complex concepts into easy-to-understand lessons. His teaching style is engaging, patient, and tailored to ensure every student grasps the material.
The course materials were top-notch, and Andrew provided practical tips and strategies that were invaluable for studying and passing the exam. He genuinely cares about his students' success and goes above and beyond to answer questions and offer support.
Thanks to his guidance, I am very confident and well-prepared to start studying for my NASCLA exam.
Look no further if you're looking for a class that will set you up for success.
National Contractors Seminars and Andrew are the best in the business, and this course is worth every penny.
Five stars all the way!
