Course Detail: CCBESTREC - Recordkeeping & Estimating For Construction Contractors
Students can take advantage of studying at their own pace with this online course. It is available via Video-on-Demand all term using your device. Successful contractors learn very quickly that it takes more than being a craftsman to run a business.

Be prepared to move forward confidently and avoid many of the common mistakes while you are waiting for your CCB License to arrive or focus on best practices if you are already in business.
