Our Classes Meet All of the Requirements of the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors.

Join Jeff Makey and co-host Martha King as we Interview Industry Experts in a Talk Show Format!

What are OUR courses about?
You'll need 8 hours to renew so we've listed information here!

• What is featured in the Additions and Remodel day?
  Are you tired of spending weeks on an estimate only to lose the deal? Is the engineer demanding change order fees every time you ask a question? This series will explore multiple strategies to get remodel contracts signed without a free estimate. Then we interview a structural engineer and learn how to keep costs under control.
• Hey Jeff, I don't have all day. Can I sign up for just one course?
  YES! As a licensed contractor, my days rarely go as planned. We allow you to sign up for courses (sessions) individually. Just click on the registration link and select the course session YOU want to take. Pay only for the session you take. Whether you have all day or just a few hours, you are in control.
• 0069 Surge Protection 101 Educate, Protect and Sell - 2 hours
  Have you ever wondered why that LED light bulb didn’t last as long as it should have? Or why your Smart TV flickers and you have to reboot?
  
  The average home has over $10,000 worth of electronics that can be damaged by surges. Don't let your clients get left in the dark!
• A talk show CE course? What's up with that?
  Wow, that is a great question. Over the years, I have had to take a lot of continuing education classes. Every year I find myself sitting in a course taught by just another professional in the same industry as me. Almost always resulting in an incestuous death by PowerPoint wasted day. Enough! I have a BS in creating adult education so let's get started. We seek out EXPERTS on the topic. Then we interview them asking real questions, unrehearsed and recorded. As we play the interviews Martha does her best to keep me on track as we discuss their information in more detail. Why can't CE be entertaining and informative?
• 0174 Sitting Down with a Structural Engineer - 2 hours
  With the vast majority of NC General Contractors working as residential builders, there is a disconnect between these professionals and structural engineers. This interview style curriculum is designed to bridge the gap between contractor, engineer and owner allowing a more productive and lower cost solutions to residential and smaller commercial projects.
  
  Jeff Makey has an open conversation with Nicholas Lutzweiler, P.E
• I took your classes last year. Do you have new courses this year?
  Absolutely. Our "interview the expert" concept is the only one like it anywhere! It takes time to record the interview. Then the footage is edited, and the course is created. After that, The approval process can take weeks.
  
  In addition to the 12 hours of CE from last year, we have 6 more hours pending this year. Including "An Employer's Guide to Health Insurance" and "Helical Foundation Systems"
