So, I this is the very 1st time I have posted a review for anything, so bare with me... The CSLS puts out a GREAT product for helping with tests and even better insurance service and support in JENNIFER SMITH. As in life, as long as one is willing to put the effort into REALLY wanting to see results, CSLS will get you where you want to be. Needless to say, with a TON of time spent studying, attending all the in person classes (and really paying attention), asking a lot of questions, I passed my General Engineering Contractors A license on my first try. Now, as far as customer service, once I received my License I needed insurance...I was not sure where to begin and with tons of advertisement from outside sources, I reached out to a few insurance brokers only to find out that many of them only wanted to deal with "already established" companies...In comes Jennifer Smith with CSLS...WHAT A LIFESAVER!! Jennifer hand guided me through the process of the exact types of insurances my new (Nation wide) clients were requesting. She not only guided me in the right direction, she provided my new clients with every piece of insurance documentation that they requested. I am sure CSLS has some excellent Insurance producers/agents/brokers, but I am telling you from personal experience, Jennifer Smith will get you to the next level when it comes to your insurance needs. read more

If you are looking into a school for the California State license exam look no further! Let me just say as a contractor with 17 years experience in the business in a different state, when I looked for a program I made several calls with various institutions, that didn't really impress me that much, but when Stephanie Williams picked up the phone and answered my call, questions, and provided me the correct information I knew I found the perfect tool to do the job. CSLS gave me the information, classes, and handled all of the necessary paperwork for the state with ease! The staff and instructors are top notch! CSLS has several programs that can be considered to gain knowledge from, whether you are highly experienced or setting off on you first venture in the construction business! I would like to formally thank the whole staff I dealt with Stephanie, Lori, Mary, and Greg for the great job they do! This school will give anyone more or all the knowledge you need to be successful in a trade in California and "Knowledge is power" PS: your money is well spent on the upgraded program, your your business will thank you!

Very thankful for this school, the courses worked out great for me. I passed my test the first time around and haven't looked back. The instructors and the amazing staff definitely made this whole experience one to remember! Belen, I cannot thank her enough for all of her help! Thank You! From the first day of class, throughout the entire paperwork process (as well as my hundreds of phone calls), to the day i passed my test and beyond, Belen has always been extremely knowledgeable, ready to help and an absolute pleasure to deal with everytime! My instructors were very knowledgeable as well as engaging (Joe), meaning they didn't settle for the ol' zombied smile and nod your head because they could care less if you pass. They definitely take pride in the services they specialize in providing. I have recommended and will continue to recommend CSLS to anyone who is new or just looking to grow. read more

I just passed my contractors test thanks to Contractors State License School. I want to say thank you to Stephanie who signed me up and discussed all of my options before getting started. Thanks to Natalie who was on top of dealing with any paperwork or answering any questions I had usually before I asked them. Natalie made things so easy so that I never worried about anything except focusing on learning so I could pass my contractors test. Finally I want to thank Greg for being such a good teacher for all my classes including the final crash course. I can honestly say that I don't think I would have passed my contractors test had it not been for taking the classes with Greg and taking the practice tests on line that they have. I couldn't be happier and definitely recommend Contractors State License School to anyone trying to get their license. That remove the stress and make passing easy. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Adriana as a Student Administrator at Contractors State License School, and couldn't be happier with the service I received. Adriana went above and beyond to ensure that all of my needs were met. She was always available to answer my numerous phone calls and patiently address any questions or concerns I had. Her attentiveness and dedication made me feel supported and encouraged throughout the entire process of obtaining my contractors license. Adriana's genuine desire for my success was evident in her personalized and unwavering support. I highly recommend working with Adriana and choosing The Sacramento State License School for anyone embarking on their journey to become a licensed contractor. Thank you Adriana for your exceptional service! read more

I got all the classes I needed to pass my License Board tests (with ease and early) from CSLS. They took care of me with all my paperwork to make getting licensed and bonded happen smooth and painless, no problems and very nice folks. I have continued for three years to work with Jennifer Smith at CSLS for my insurance needs. Any time I have a question, she is very reachable and she gets it done with a smile. Business has changes and demands careful attention to details, Jennifer has kept me a track and really gone the distance when it came to insurance audits and getting me the very best price on the right policy. She has referred me to several professional services that are essential to me has a small business owner. I trust CSLS and would highly recommend them to others. read more

I honestly can't say enough good things about Contractors State License Schools in Sacramento. Getting your contractor's license can be stressful, but everyone there has made the process so much easier. A huge thank you to Adriana, Seta, Stephanie, and Greg.

You can tell they actually care about helping their students succeed, and that really makes a difference. If you're thinking about getting your contractor's license, I highly recommend this school.

Thank you CSLS! I have been working with this company for over 5 years and the experience has consistently been great! I personally have taken two contractor courses from them and passed both of my test because of their help. Stephanie Williams recently help me send two more of my employees through the process to get their contractor's license. She was professional and courteous. She knew her facts, relevant information and was well organized, you can tell she takes pride in her work and truly wants to do what is best for each student and their educational needs. I would recommend any one that is looking to attain their contractor's license to utilize this school. Talk to Stephanie Williams and tell her that Randy X sent you! read more

My experience with the Sacramento staff has been nothing less than superb. Stephanie and Natalie are always motivated to provide a positive, professional and enjoyable experience from casual question answering to application submittal to the state. Gregory Jones is hands down the best instructor I have had the benefit of learning from. Not just through the school, but throughout my career. An instructor that can engage your senses and who can inspire you to want to learn, is motivational and a rare commodity indeed. Sacramento campus is blessed to have multiple staff members that will literally stand shoulder to shoulder with you from the beginning stages to the license completion. Piece of mind is free of charge in Sacramento! read more

My name is Steven Wm. Johnson, my story is real important to those who didn't pass the CSL exam. I took the exam twice and scored the exact percentage. I was extremely embarrassed/frustrated. So I con-tacted another License School and met Stephanie Williams-Malik, she exhibited a spirit of cooperation to the extent to let me study at her place of business, I missed the two day crash course. At all time Ms. Williams was open to help and positive to someone who failed not once but twice. In closing, Ms. Williams is very professional and super cute woman, thank u from my heart. Steven C-10 Contractor Thank u read more

This was a great experience and worth every penny. First off, Natalie and Belinda were incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions and helping along through each step towards getting my liscence. Stephanie made it as easy as possible to incorporate. Greg and Joe have to be two of the best teachers in regards to law and trade. Needless to say I purchased the all inclusive package and by the time test day came I passed both my law and trade tests the first try, both in under one hour. I'd highly recommend this school to anyone interested in aquiring a contractors liscence. Thanks to everyone. read more

Thank you CSLS for the material that you provided, it was very helpful, I was able to pass law and trade test with no issues at all, there's many ways to study, I would recommend their online practice test if you just want to pass the test, and their book material if you really want to know how to CYA your company and how to be successful. Instructors did their job to educate us while in class courses. The student administrator Natalie Jaggi always answered my questions and phone calls when I needed her assistance, and she always followed up with my program as well.. highly recommend read more

Natalie and the team at the Contractors State License Schools were awesome. They were patient with me and followed up after each lesson to make sure I had a good understanding of the lesson and the process ahead. A special thanks to Natalie for making the paperwork throughout the entire schooling, through the testing and finishing with making sure I had all my paperwork to get my certificate was together for me so I didn't have to guess. I could not have done this without taking the classes and using the study guides. Passed first time around... SUCCESS!!! Thank you Manfred S. read more

Belinda Smith At Contractors State License School is very professional. She always helps me out when i have questions and her being able to speak Spanish is a big plus. Although i know English, i feel more comfortable speaking Spanish. : ) She is respectful, helpful and efficient at what she does at the school. Da gusto encontrar personas como Belinda que aman a su trabajo por ello lo hacen excelentemente bien. Quiero decirle por este medio gracias por su ayuda y gracias por hacer esta escuela una excelente escuela donde tuve una gran experiencia cuando estudie alli. Gracias! read more

Adriana at Csls was on top of it and really helped me push through a fast and easy process with all the steps required to obtain my license. I'm very happy how everything went and I owe it to Adriana at csls for being there every step of the way. I will definitely be using csls to obtain other licenses like the one that I got already through the csls program. I highly recommend the online crash courses they will definitely help fine tune your knowledge. I passed first time using there study guides and I'm a horrible test taker so it means a lot coming from someone like me. read more

Honest and Very Helpful! While CSLS wasn't my first stop that day, it was the best choice by far! The staff, Especially Lori Polisso, is extremely knowledgeable in the requirements, and educational needs required to apply for, take, and pass, the CA contractors test. They also have Very Experienced Instructors! Lori was instrumental in my passing the test, on my first attempt! They also have the proper contacts, to start and maintain my business. Therefore, I would recommend CSLS to All of my Family and Friends! Sincerely, Harold Lind Lind Painting license #1025350 read more
