Contractors State License Schools

These guys scam me out of $ 507. Victor lie to me over the phone in order to give my credit card information. Once I arrived at the school d had me read the documents to be signed and I realized that I had been lied to. Based on what was required I did not qualify for the school and I told him this once I read the material however they would not return my money and said that it is part of their terms of service. I am going to contact the BBB consumer affairs and share my experience with all news outlets to stop these scam artist from taking advantage of others in the future.

Thumbs up. If you want help getting your license, follow jerry woods advice, and put the time in. You will pass. Thanks CSLS

I attended a ICC Commercial Building Inspectors seminar at the Concord location. This was twice a week 3 hours per class, there were 5 – 6 attendees here. The class starts late, leaves early. This does not work! If you your paying let’s just say on the average $ 25.00 per hour x 5 attendees this comes out to 125.00 an hour x3 hours =375.00 per night x 2 nights = $ 750.00 I expect my money’s worth! I bought the books all the pages are there! Got my money’s worth! After contacting the next 7 levels of help I’m still not anywhere but disappointed in this Seminar. I was finally put in contact with Mario Santana who tried to make things right, it turns out he has no influence to make anything right. Lots of email promises and like the scheduled hours of seminars very little time, very disappointed with this company. They may be very good at Contractors Licenses but as far as ICC Building Inspectors I would look elsewhere. This review is for the Concord campus, wait I have a review that I will post on the Sacramento campus!

I rarely post on Unilocal but after a rather heated conversation with Craig Klivans I feel csls has earned it. This Mickey Mouse operation is all smoke and mirrors, Scare tactics and used car salesman pitches. They will tell you exactly what you want to hear just to get your money. There’s other schools out there. the material is all the same although csls will tell you they’re the only ones authorized by the state. I wouldn’t trust any of these 5 star ratings most likely fake reviews. Ester at the front desk was actually pretty cool. She’s the only one there with some personality and seems to actually care so I’ll give these jokers 2 stars.

Spoke with Doug and informed him on what license I would like to obtain. Throughout the conversation he used scare tactics to persuade me to sign up
that instance. I fell for his pitch and gave him my CC information over the phone. After thinking about the whole incident, I decided to cancel the very next day. Doug again tried to use more scare tactics to persuade me from cancelling and then mentioned other options after the fact. He did not have a desire to help me receive a refund and just told me to send an e-​mail request to corporate. Just today they charged my account again after I already mentioned I was not interested in their useless program.

Well I was a nervous person. I was also very skeptical about this school. I made an appointment and met with Doug P. at their Concord, CA location. He was very honest and sincere. It was good to hear really what you need to do and what it will take to get there. Doug helped me through the entire process. Classes were instructed by Tim R. He was another great help in this entire school. He was down to earth and making the material easier to grasp. I was late in getting prepared for the final test. But, Doug was able to schedule me for a final review. It was the last push and boy it worked. I passed both tests. Thank you everyone at CSLC. I even spoke with Ramon in their headquarter and was impressed by his knowledge and service. Over all Doug was the main leader and his team performed just the way they should. I am grateful for your support.

They are telling the truth when they say they will help you pass the test and they truly mean it. My husband took the course and just passed his test yesterday. Thanks a lot!!!

Tried to resolve an issue several times with a promise they made. Went down there and talked to them and got a lot of BS. Don’t trust Contractors State License Services. Once they get you money they ignore you. Their prices for classes are negotiable too. Don’t pay over $ 200 for the EPA Lead class. They say it’s almost full but there full BS.
Monica R. Vasquez, I went to your concord office to resolve the issue twice and nothing was done. Then I Unilocaled once and you guys said I wasn’t in your system when that day the Concord office was ablt to look me up. Your company failed repeatedly several times. this is why I went to post this review and I will continue as long as my posts keep being removed. Maybe you should review your workers as well as the reviews

This school was recommended by 2 fellow contractors who took classes from them and said it very helpful in passing their lic test. Met with their on site counselor and found a program and price that was less than I expected. They had the only live classes I could find as all others were internet only and I was afraid of getting ripped off. They had a great law and trade book and teacher who has taught the same classes for the last 7 years. I also incorporated my business at ½ the price anywhere. They also typed my application and really cared about me being successful. Just passed the test –very pleased-​Will use them for other licenses in the future. Solid overall experience.
