Should be improving

These materials should come with a simple self-study guide, but unfortunately, they don't. Many of the tabs are misplaced, and the highlighted sections are not clearly marked. It shows that their quality control is very poor

The books they send you to highlight are not correct. It tells me to tab a page but nothing to highlight! Why tab it if your not going to highlight? One book they have a picture from 20 years ago so that tells me that these books aren’t updated at all!!

Thank you for your feedback. We want to clarify a few points regarding our books: some pages may have a tab without highlights which is intentional and part of the study structure. Additionally, the images and illustrations in the book do not indicate that the material is outdated. If you would like additional guidance or help understanding the content, our instructors are available during our Office Hours sessions and would be happy to assist. We appreciate your dedication to your studies and are here to support your success.

We're sorry to hear about your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to clarify. Your order was shipped the same day as it was placed using Second Day Air, as requested. Due to the New Year holiday, UPS experienced delays that were outside of our control. Once an order is handed off to the carrier, delivery timelines are managed by them; however, the package is in transit and tracking information reflects its progress. We are always happy to assist with tracking or follow up with the carrier if needed, and we encourage you to reach out to us directly so we can help resolve this for you.

Pricing

Pricing, pricing, pricing. This stuff is overly expensive, the shipping was really expensive and slow to be delivered.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns. We understand how frustrating shipping delays can be. Your order was processed and shipped the same day it was received. Once the package is with the carrier, delivery times can be affected by factors outside of our control, including increased volume during the holiday season. The shipping charge on your order was for standard ground shipping and reflects the carrier's published rates. If you have any questions, you can reach us at support@contractortrainingcenter.com or 888-858-7350. We are always here to help!

Presentation

This training content/style is well below my expectations. All I see is someone behind a microphone reading the content of each book, something I can do myself.

VERY DISAPPOINTING!

Reply from Contractor Training Center

We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience, and we appreciate you taking time to share your feedback. Our online course is designed to offer much more than simply covering the content in each book. In addition to guided instruction, the course includes practice exams, study strategies and tools to help students become familiar with navigating the required materials efficiently, an essential skill for success on the exam. Our focus is on helping students understand how to locate and apply information rather than memorizing specific questions and answers. Many students find that taking full advantage of the practice exams and supplemental resources within the course significantly improves their preparation. We value your feedback and are always working to improve our program.

wrong books for the class they give

I work 60 to 90 hours a week and have been getting this done on the side. The online course used the old addition of the book and the new addition doesn't match what they show online. I learned to use the book well because of this, but I couldn't finish the course in time. They offered to charge me another 300 dollars to get back into what I already paid for. Had they given the right books to begin with, I could have finished it with my limited time. They give you 6 months. They charge you 1200 dollars for the books, and you can find them a lot cheaper. customer service is smug and extremely rude. I would use anyone but them. I spent over 1600 dollars with them and could have gotten this done for 600 all together. These people are a scam.

We’re sorry your experience has been frustrating. To make sure you have the time you need, we’ve added 90 days of additional course access to your account at no charge and sent an email confirming the update.

Regarding book costs, our sets include professionally applied tabs, color-coded highlighting, and reference indexing—features designed to save hours during open-book exams. That extra preparation is the main reason our pricing differs from sites that ship unmarked books.

We take your comments about customer-service interactions seriously and have opened an internal review to ensure all team members deliver the respect and support every student deserves.

If you have any questions about your extended access, need updated video links that align with your edition, or want further assistance as you finish the course, please let us know at support@contractortrainingcenter.com or 888-858-7350. We appreciate the opportunity to make this right and help you reach the finish line.

I paid almost $3,000.00 for books that are tabbed and highlighted.

There were legit only 5 answers actually highlighted from the test.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can feel after investing both time and money, especially when preparing for an important exam. Our goal with the online course and study materials is not to provide the exact answers that appear on the exam, as there is no way for us or any provider to know the specific questions that will appear. Instead, our course is designed to prepare students by helping them understand the material, navigate the books effectively, and build the confidence needed to approach the exam successfully. If you would like to discuss your concerns further or need guidance on how to best use the materials, we would be more than happy to help.

Training is effective in familiarizing you with the code book

I went through the G13 Contractor C training over the past 3 months. I am pretty new to the field and don't have years of experience with the code to rely on. Most of the value is in the practice quizzes and exams - there is very limited actual training content. The quizzes familiarize you with the location of stuff in the book to help you find stuff you don't know during the exam. That said - the highlighted sections of the book, and the practice quiz/exam questions, had very little connection to the actual test questions. The practice quizzes and exams reuse a limited sample of questions and get repetitive. They overweight questions on girder/joist span distances, foundation wall heights, etc and underweight mechanicals and a whole host of other details. Almost all questions on the practice quizzes/exams were from highlighted book sections. Almost none of the questions in the real test were from highlighted book sections. That said - I passed, so I'm happy, but go in expecting the actual test to be harder than the sample tests provided.

While we do not provide the exact questions and answers from the state exam, our goal is to help students thoroughly understand the material and confidently navigate the books, so they are well prepared for the exam itself. Our content is designed to reinforce concepts, structure, and test taking readiness rather than replicate the exam verbatim. Congratulations on passing your exam!
