Educating Construction Professionals
To be licensed in Florida, you must pass both a business & finance exam and a trade knowledge exam for your license category. CEI's power pack and pro pack exam preparation programs are complete programs which prepare you to pass both the business & finance and the trade knowledge exams. Power pack and pro pack programs are available for the following license categories:
If you are preparing to be licensed in another trade, CEI's business & finance exam preparation courses will prepare you to pass your business & finance exam. With the exception of the trades listed above, most contractors find the business & finance exam to be more difficult than the trade knowledge exam, especially those contractors without financial or accounting experience.
The business & finance exam covers financing, taxes, business law and accounting, including payroll, accounting practices, lien law, labor law, tax law, productivity calculations and more… CEI’s expert courses simplify this complex material and prepare you to pass successfully on exam day! Even if you have an accountant or an employee manage your payroll and taxes, CEI can get you to a passing score on the business & finance exam.
