Product Combos

There are two combos: Regular and Pre-Highlighted. The only difference is that the Pre-Highlighted combo comes with books that are already highlighted and tabbed for you. If you get the regular combo, you still get all of the books and tabs, but you will highlight yourself. The course includes highlighting guides for each book.

Louisiana Builder Reciprocity

The LSLBC offers reciprocity for applicants who have already passed an equivalent contractor licensing exam in another state. If an applicant holds a classification that required an exam elsewhere — and that exam was passed without waivers, exemptions, or grandfathering — the LSLBC may accept that exam for reciprocity. The exam will be accepted for a comparable Louisiana classification determined by the Board. All other licensing requirements still apply, including documentation reviews and the investigation of any current or prior violations.
