Your school prepares them for their career. CEI prepares them for the exam.
Together, we build a path to licensure.
Your program builds their construction knowledge. CEI turns that knowledge into exam readiness with proven Florida contractor exam prep, expert instruction and exam-ready materials, without requiring new curriculum or instructors.
Speak with a CEI partnerships specialist. No cost, no obligation.
Don't let the licensing exam become the gap in their path.
Students can leave a strong construction program with the knowledge to succeed in the industry and still be unprepared for the very different challenge of a contractor licensing exam. A failed attempt can cost time, money and momentum. CEI gives your students a structured path from what they've learned in school to how they'll be tested on exam day.

Questions institutions ask before partnering
Alongside it. You teach the technical and professional foundation. CEI provides specialized prep for the Florida Business & Finance and Trade exams, which test differently from classroom coursework.
No. CEI runs alongside your program as a referral pathway, a student benefit or a supplemental resource. It doesn't need to be a required course.
Partnership models vary: a preferred-provider referral, a student discount code, or a cohort-based pilot, shaped around what fits your program. We'll walk through options on the intro call.
General Contractor, Building, Residential, Roofing, Air Conditioning, Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, Pool & Spa, Home Inspector and Building Inspector. We'll match prep to what your students are training toward.
