RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 13, 2025--

Contractor Training Center (CTC) is excited to announce a new course specifically for California contractors: California General Building (B) Contractor Exam Prep. Designed to help contractors pass one of the toughest licensing exams in the country, this course reinforces CTC’s mission to remove barriers for trades people ready to advance their careers.

California’s closed-book General Building (B) exam presents a significant challenge—even for seasoned contractors. Contractor Training Center’s new course tackles that head-on with a teaching approach designed to make learning stick – combining weekly livestream classes with 24/7 access to on-demand lessons and practice tools. As one of the state’s most in-demand license classifications, the General Building (B) license is a critical step for tradespeople looking to take their career to the next level. This program is purpose-built to help contractors move confidently toward leadership, independence, and licensure.

“We didn’t just want to enter the California market—we wanted to solve the right problem with our most effective solution,” said Patrick Hayes, General Manager of Contractor Training Center. “Contractors in this state are up against one of the toughest exams in the country. Our solution is designed to support them with comprehensive test preparation every step of the way, with training that’s flexible, affordable, and backed by our Access-Until-You-Pass Guarantee.”

Why This Course is Important:

• Makes a Difficult Exam Manageable: CTC’s course clarifies what you need to know and makes the content clear and actionable, helping contractors study with confidence and pass.
• Offers Flexible Learning Options: The course includes a full year of access to evening livestream classes and on-demand materials, enabling contractors to progress at their own pace while still benefiting from the structure, support, and accountability of a cohort-based experience.
• Grants Access Until You Pass: CTC offers a straightforward promise: continued access to learning tools and live classes until the licensing exam is passed. If the exam is not passed on the first attempt, access is extended at no additional cost. This reflects CTC’s commitment to student success—not just delivering a course, but guiding learners to the finish line.

What Sets This Program Apart:

• Designed for Pros: This program is tailored for Journeymen, Supervisors, and Foremen with hands-on field experience. It bridges critical knowledge gaps in construction planning, jobsite safety, and California-specific codes—preparing professionals not just to pass the licensing exam, but to lead effectively in the field.
• Real Solutions with Personalized Support: This new course is built on the same proven approach that drives a 90% first-time pass rate for CTC’s NASCLA exam prep programs—clear evidence that the education model works. The course combines a comprehensive learning design, including a practice exam simulator, with a competitive edge through unmatched support. The top-tier package includes one-on-one tutoring, guidance from a licensing specialist, and full application processing—offering more personalized assistance than other providers.

Join Us: CTC has empowered contractors nationwide—and now it’s California’s turn. If you're ready to take the next step in your contractor career, don’t miss this opportunity to prepare with expert guidance, proven tools, and a pass guarantee that puts your success first.
