What 4 CSLS Advantages Mean to You

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”24987″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you’ve already looked into attending CSLS – online or in-person – as a way to become a licensed contractor in California, then you’re probably aware that we can offer you some advantages that other schools and programs can’t.

But what do those perks really mean for you in your future? Here are four of the biggest perks, and why we think they should factor into your decision-making:

#1: 25 Locations Across California

Having more than two dozen California locations means that no potential CSLS student is ever far from a campus. When you’re close, you can save time commuting back and forth to classes. Plus it makes it easier to take advantage of on-site resources like unlimited practice exams.

#2: A 99.9% First-Time Passing Rate

Simply put, this means you can count on us doing everything we can to help you pass your exam and become a licensed contractor. Only about one out of every thousand students who comes to us doesn’t pass their test on the first try. If you’re willing to learn and study, we can help you reach your dream.

#3: A 100% Money-Back Tuition Guarantee

Not only can we make your dream of becoming a self-employed licensed California contractor reachable, we’ll actually refund you your tuition if we can’t. So there isn’t any risk to you – all you have to do is take a chance and make the right decision.

#4: Unlimited Practice Exams

When you sit down to take your California licensed contractor’s exam, we want you to be as prepared as you possibly could be. With unlimited practice exams, you can prepare for the test at your own pace, confident in the knowledge that you know the state’s computer testing platform inside and out.

As you already know, there are lots of choices when it comes to California contractor’s exam preparation. But there’s only one CSLS, and more than 125,000 students have gone on from our school to become fully-licensed professionals and reap the rewards. Will you be the next one?
