Why BTES is the Best
At Building Trades Education Services we have over thirty years experience preparing contractors to take and pass state and county licensing exams. Our instructors know what to teach and how to teach it. Our in-house publications department continuously updates our exclusive study guides, so you can be sure of receiving the most current information.
Builder’s Book Barn, our companion bookstore, stocks all of the required reference books for licensing exams, as well as numerous other hard-to-find trade publications for contractors, architects and engineers.
Many professionals are quite surprised at how much they don't know when taking their state and local licensing exams. It's not that they don't know their trade, but the exams are mostly about government regulations, standards and codes. You have to wade through a long list of books to locate the required information.
Anyone who has taken these exams can tell you—it's not a walk in the park! Over two-thirds of the people taking these exams without professional help will fail. Over ninety-five percent of our clients pass their licensing exams.

What our clients say...
"I chose BTES because of several reasons, one being that I liked the idea of home study with the workbooks they provide, and being able to schedule it around my workweek. I then was scheduled to attend the 5-day crash course (as I call it) at the end right up until the exam date. Having all of this information still fresh I am sure led up to me passing the exam. Thanks so much to all of the professional staff at BTES and very special thanks to Stuart, my newest mentor."
