Questions
How much does general contractor school cost?
Public schools with construction trades and construction management programs charge a median $4,829 a year in in-state tuition; for-profit schools charge a median $16,337 in program tuition.1
Does general contractor school count toward a license?
It helps, but it rarely replaces work hours. States that license general contractors count supervised hours on the job, and some give partial credit for school. Check your state's steps.
Trade school or apprenticeship?
Apprentices get paid for their hours and their classes are usually included. School costs tuition but you can start without being hired first.
