With a shorter history working in Construction, I was definitely nervous about my experience taking the FL Residential Contractor Exams. I was blown away by the course material CEI offered. They were excellent. Saw several topics on exams that were clearly outlined in the coursework. If you follow the instructions to pass and study with purpose you will absolutely be adequately prepared for test days.I loved the convenience of the online learning program and thought everything was very easy to follow. Course material was clearly updated as evident by page numbering and editions.I rented my books early, be aware that sometimes not all books will be available when you order so it might take a bit of time to get them in. I received all 16 required material within about 1.5 months of placing my order. So plan ahead!Do not be discouraged if you haven’t taken math or some kind of advanced learning! They broke down topics as simple as percentage calculations!All 3 practice exams in the software are able to be retaken multiple times. I never noticed repeated questions and took the practice tests about 2 times each.Some feedback for CEI: the Flashcards of things to know in the Contracting/PM course would be far more useful as a Microsoft Word document, PowerPoint, or pdf flashcards etc as a download from the learning portal or website. I typed my Flashcards out myself and think learners would be able to print/study offline in a simpler format without the necessity of a computer or wifi. I used mine to study while I was traveling without wifi to boost my confidence prior to testing.Thanks to CEI, I passed all 3 RC exams following about ~3 months of studying with CEI. Can’t recommend CEI enough!

Amazing overall experience! All staff was beyond helpful throughout the process. Course was informative and very pertinent to state testing. Passed all exams first time around and couldn’t have done it without such a well rounded program. 10 out of 10 recommend to anyone looking to further their construction knowledge or licensing.

Do not use them. Save your money go to another school. When I tried to let them know there materials were not helping me. I got a belittling response “ I passed the course, “ “ I don’t have a magic wand for you.”

I was beyond impressed with the content and preparation I received from working with CEI. I choose to rent books and use the online training. It was superb. The content truly helped me prepare for the certified contractor exams. Throughout the process communication was great and the few times I did have a question, I was quickly responded to with answers.This is a difficult process with a lot of options. I can highly recommend CEI. What you really need to learn is how to navigate the information and text books, and they have formulated a system to help you do that very well. You need to study. If you follow their plan you will succeed. They are clearly committed to the success of their clients, and I deeply appreciate what they helped my accomplish.

Rented books from CEI for residential contractor exams. It was a seamless experience. Further, when scheduling exams, there was some difficulty getting a timely appointment, they allowed me to extend my rental of the books gratis! Greatly appreciate CEI and their help with passing my exams.

Just a shout out to Danny and all those who helped me pass my plumbing test on my 1st try.I chose to do the self guided training online and devoted about a month of study to the process. The system is very easy to follow if you do the work you should be able to pass. There are roughly 30 study modules followed by short tests. Then one final test to give you a feel for the actual test.I have a plumbing contractor's license from Oklahoma and a Med Gas certification. My cousin has a master plumbing license from Texas. This test put them both to shame on its length and the amount of books covered.There is also a portion of the test that is isometric drawings that must be completed. You have to be able to do these drawing or you can't pass. If you have never done them don't even try to take the test until you understand how to do them.I was terrified about this test when I got all the books covered on the exam. It's hard but doable if you have a system. I'm very sure I could not have passed without CEI's help.Thank you very much.

Not enough practice material. One practice test for each subject.The receptionist at their office always responds in aggravated tone.Probably wouldn't do business with them again.

After much research, I chose CEI for my GC License Prep and Licensing needs. Bill answered all of my questions, and quickly had me enrolled in the program. With the CEI classes and instructors, I successfully passed all three exams, on my first attempt.Judy was my instructor, and the tips/strategies she gave, were extremely useful at test timeKristy the licensing specialist is amazing! Kristy answered every question I had, she assisted me in completing all the applications, and navigated the entire licensing process for me. I could not have done this without Kristy and her expertise.CEI is absolutely the best, hands down. The entire process from classes to licensing, was an amazing experience with CEI by my side.

Kristy was amazing to work with. She helped me submit my paperwork to DBPR. I also took the CEI course which helped me prepare for the tests. Don't waste your time doing it on your own. Kristy always responded to emails quickly. In the end, I got my license. Thanks again CEI!!!
