Codes book is 2015 not 2018
Paid almost $300 and the Codes book isn’t updated on here. Shows 2015 where my book is a 2018.

Package was supposed to be delivered next day but arrived a day late.
Response from Contractor Training CenterSep 10, 2025
We’re sorry your package arrived a day later than expected. Orders placed after 2:30 p.m. EST sometimes miss the day’s carrier pickup, which can add an extra transit day—unfortunately it sounds like that timing affected your shipment. We understand the inconvenience this caused and appreciate your patience. If there’s anything we can do to make this right or help with future orders, please let us know at [email protected].

Bundle! does not mean the course is included with Bundle choice. However you provide it for other states, do not understand why? Bad marketing for your brand. If you are a nation wide company, then it should be provided nation wide.
Response from Contractor Training CenterAug 11, 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Bundle option. We’re sorry the wording caused confusion about whether books were included. On our site, we intentionally offer both Bundle packages and stand-alone products so students who already own the books—or who only need the books and not the course—can choose exactly what fits their situation. We recognize this flexibility can sometimes be unclear and will work to make the differences more obvious. Our sales team has already reached out by phone and email to clear up the misunderstanding and ensure you receive the materials you need. If there’s anything else we can do, please contact us anytime at [email protected] or call 888-585-7350. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve.

Don't waste your time on the courses. They're just someone reading the highlighted sections of the book in the most monotone voice you can imagine. No context or anything helpful is provided. The tabbed and highlighted books are valuable and the practice exams familiarize you with how to look stuff up in the books.

I signed up for their services several weeks ago to study for the Class A exam. Unless I'm missing something, I've simply paid to watch a recording of someone reading the IBC book to me; far from what I would call training. The only useful tool is the practice exam, but theres only one and it becomes redundant after the 2nd time through. I see a lot of positive reviews on here, and I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but so far I feel like it has been a waste of time and money.

Hi Tony, thanks for your feedback. This is an Exam Prep course and practice test questions. It is developed to prepare you for the Contractor Exam as quickly and efficiently as possible. We don't waste your time with fluff or anything that you will not need to Pass The Exam on the First Attempt. However, We have just added new content that goes more in depth on certain topics that may help you get a better understanding of some of the material that is covered on the Exam. We hope you will consider us for any other exam that you need. We wish you well in your contracting journey. Team CTC

$2,400 in books should have required a signature. Box was damaged and tapped back together, missing 1 book was shipped later. Again no signature required left on my front porch on the weekend while I was away. Book was damaged but still usable. Good thing I didn’t schedule the class based on the initial order as one of the books was back ordered. Over all, not a great or secure process for a $2,400 purchase. Should come complete and should require signature. Books shouldn’t be left in the rain.

The training material was pretty minimal. The practice test is just a powerpoint slideshow of someone presenting and answering questions. There is no actual practice test you can take.

Hi Michael, You are right, we are not trying to be just a practice test mill. Our unique Q and A process is designed to get you to be able to find the answers in the books and as quickly as possible. Randomized practice tests don't help you achieve that goal, This has helped 10's of thousands of contractors pass these exams. If you do not pass, send us your pass/fail report and we will create a custom study plan for you. If you follow the instruction and process, I am quite certain that you will pass on the first try. Good luck and let us know how you did. Thanks
