Frequently Asked Questions
Our Instructors
Our team of instructors are professional, experienced, and are knowledgeable with the "real" world of contracting.
They are able to explain things in contractors language. They all hold contractors licenses and specialize
in personal individual instruction. All instructors work out of our technical development center where they
combine all of their experience in keeping the course material current.
At the Contractors Institute, there are no "Part-Time" instructors that operate businesses and teach
periodically as "side-work" for extra money.
How long are the courses?
Continuing Education Courses are 7 hours long. ( 7 - 50 minute hours.) Unfortunately, we can not give partial
credit for the courses because they are approved by the Licensing Boards for 7 hours. We do offer 1 hour
and 3 hour courses over the internet.
When and where are the courses given?
The courses are given all over the state of Florida. If we do not have a course in your area convenient
to your schedule, you can always take your continuing education online at our web site. From the convenience
of your own home or office, you can work on your continuing education hours. There are classes approved
for both CILB and ECLB licenses.
Why should I choose The Contractors Institute?
