NASCLA Business + Law — Contractor Prep

We draft the prep. You read the script. The exam is the easy part.

Most NASCLA prep on the market is text-heavy and generic. TCS records the entire course in a working contractor's voice from the kitchen-table side of the table — slow on every citation, anchored in real field stories from a master electrician who qualifies a contracting company across 20+ states. Then we render the audio, render the slides, render the certificate. You read the script and pass the exam.

• •Universal core authored verbatim from the NASCLA Contractors Guide 14th Edition (sub-topic citations to chapter and page).
• •280+ PSI-format practice questions ship with the course (20 per chapter).
• •Per-state overlays cover the four buckets every exam tests and every contractor needs: state taxes, mechanics-lien deadlines, labor laws, and state-specific contract rules.
• •PDF certificate on completion. Renewable on the NASCLA Guide's ~2-year edition cycle.

Pre-filled state overlays — built once, applied to your state.

Universal NASCLA content is the same in every state. State law isn't. We layer your state's specific rules on top of the universal core: state income/sales/contractor tax, mechanics-lien filing deadlines, workers' comp threshold, prevailing-wage rules, prompt-pay statute, retainage caps. Same build pattern as the TCS state-CEU library — every state gets its own treatment so you only see your state.
