of Professional and Occupational Regulation, meets the

take Part 1 of the contractor examinations after successfully
completing this course. The course is for contractors who have
practiced in the profession for many years and are now seeking
to either upgrade an existing license or are entering the
contracting field from out of state. Course discussion will
include how to perform various tasks such as customer selection,
