King Contractor School
    From foundation to license

    From Concrete & Formwork to Licensed General Contractor

    You set the formwork, place the rebar, pour the slab, the most structural part of every building. The license takes you from sub to signing the whole job.

    This course is currently taught in Portuguese. English and Spanish versions are in development; no launch date has been announced.

    Concrete experience = structural credibility for DBPR

    DBPR specifically values structural experience. Foundations, slabs, columns and tilt-walls are exactly the kind of work the exam tests heavily.

    What to document

    • Permits with foundation inspections passed
    • Letters from GCs and engineers
    • Mix-design and pour photos with dates
    • 1099s, checks and Zelle history

    From sub to full structural GC

    Concrete sub: $80–250k/year. As GC owning the structural phase + finishes: $500k–2M/year, especially in commercial.

    Your jobsite experience is already worth gold

    King Training is a course taught in Portuguese that takes you from the DBPR application to Pearson VUE approval, even if you've never set foot in a college classroom.
