For all the time most of us spend looking for the perfect holiday gift for a young person, most of what we buy ends up in the back of a closet sooner rather than later. So, why not do things a bit differently this year and give someone in your life something truly special – a portion of their CSLS tuition that can help them take the next step in their careers.

By helping someone to pay for their education, you tell them that you care about their hopes and dreams, and that you believe in their potential to do amazing things in the future. And, because becoming a licensed construction contractor in California can be the first step toward starting their own company someday, you could actually be handing them the keys to a whole new life. How many other gifts can really be said to do the same?

When students come to see us, either after college or following a few years of work in the construction industry, they get a few advantages they can’t find elsewhere, including:

Our 99%+ first-time passing rate. We’ve helped more than 100,000 students to become licensed California contractors, and the fact is that our graduates leave our classrooms ready to pass their exams and do great things. We don’t just prepare them for tests, but for the competitive construction industry that’s waiting for them.

Flexible scheduling and payment options. Students can study with us in a classroom environment, online, or even at home with books and videos. And, we have comprehensive financial aid and tuition payment programs that make it easy for everyone to come and learn with us. If they are ready to become licensed contractors, the CSLS team can help.

Turnkey solutions for new businesses. Often, CSLS graduates want to get their new businesses started right away, but are worried about things like registering their companies and finding insurance. We have a whole department dedicated to business services, so that they can find the answers and resources they need to get started on the right foot.

Helping a student or construction professional with CSLS tuition is a great way to encourage them to take a step that they’ve probably been dreaming about for years already. Why not get in touch with us today to see what kind of gift options we can help you find for an important person in your life?
