California contractors who passed
Thank you Peerless. The pictures and charts made the hard parts easier to learn, and next month I am opening my own company.
I did not pass my first try, so I bought the study guide and read it every night after work. The drawings helped me more than the words did, and the second time I passed.
The building codes section had many small details to remember. The practice questions showed me which details actually come up.
