PLUMBING CONTRACTOR LICENSE

Building Trades Education Services offers classes designed to help you pass the Plumbing Contractor License exam.

Notably, did you know that more than 50% of applicants who undertake the Florida Plumbing Contractor License examination fail on their first attempt? Furthermore, when you are sitting in the test center taking your plumbing contractors examination, you will quickly realize that it is NOT a measure of your plumbing skills and field experience.
