About Us

Contractors Education and Training Corporation was co-founded in 2009 by a contractor who was TIRED of taking continuing education courses that were irrelevant!

Think about your previous experiences. Did you almost die of boredom? Did the instructors offend you by ARGUING, SHOUTING or maybe just LECTURING their way to the 14 hour mark?

Created by a licensed contractor who has had those experiences, and presented by an award winning speaker, we at Contractors Education and Training Corporation present to you, the BEST premium styled course you will find anywhere in Florida, and at budget pricing with convenient locations.

Our courses are based on knowledge from a 30+ year construction background in Florida. PLUS they are NOT boring like your last providers’ were!

Ours is an “EXPERIENCE” you’ll remember!

Ours is a discussion that you will participate in for the day!

Contractors Education and Training Corporation is about helping your construction business be MORE successful!

What’s better? Being paid $100 per hour for 6 hours – or $50 per half hour for 360 minutes?

No difference, right?

Well, what’s better? Using leveling jacks with swivel base plates – or hunting for some plywood, a block and a piece of scrap 2×4 to prop up your scaffold leg?

Why do people do that? I was at a jobsite yesterday and I saw that very thing. For the cost of $80 the contractor could have provided his employee with proper base plates that can be adjusted to properly support that scaffold, but instead, the employee spent time hunting for scrap pieces of lumber to “jack” up his scaffold – which, by the way, is in serious violation of OSHA regulations, exposing the contractor to the possibility of a citation, plus fines – not to mention the risk of a major catastrophe with the scaffold shifting, and then the entire thing tipping like a falling tree!
Often times it takes LESS effort to comply than to “rig” something and expose yourself to all that risk.

Guys! Build your scaffolding correctly.
