California Contractor Launch Program Agreement
Last updated August 3, 2026One non-degree educational program
The California Contractor Launch Program is The Contractor Institute's single non-degree educational offering. It contains 11 modules, 33 required lessons, 11 scored checkpoints, online workbooks, protected reference materials, weekly group office hours, and a provider directory. The program provides education and organizational tools; it does not issue a contractor license, degree, professional certification, website, or done-for-you business buildout.
Educational charge
The total educational charge is $2,499, paid once before access begins. The Institute does not accept state or federal student financial aid. Government fees, bonds, insurance, software, advertising, independently retained professionals, and optional implementation services are not part of this educational charge.
Start, access term, and delivery
The program starts when payment is confirmed and the member portal is activated. Digital access continues for 12 months. Lessons are self-paced and delivered online. Group office-hour schedules may change with reasonable notice. Missed live sessions do not extend the access term, and recordings are provided only when the Institute elects to make them available.
Completion standard
Program completion requires all 33 lesson workbooks to meet the portal's response and evidence-record standards and all 11 checkpoints to be passed at the displayed score threshold. Workbook completion records educational progress; it does not verify professional approval, CSLB eligibility, insurance coverage, tax treatment, contract sufficiency, or safety compliance. The portal records pending professional review separately.
No implementation-service deliverables
The educational program does not include a website build, custom document production, project management, provider setup, bookkeeping implementation, individualized operating-system installation, private advisory sessions, or priority review. Those deliverables are available only through a separate written Implementation Services Agreement when offered.
Seven-day cancellation
A purchaser may cancel by written notice within seven calendar days after payment for a full refund of the $2,499 educational charge. Access ends when the refund is issued. After that period, the educational charge is nonrefundable except where applicable law or a written Institute commitment requires otherwise. The Institute will refund any educational charge if it cancels the program before providing access.
Member obligations
The member must provide truthful information, protect account credentials, complete original work, avoid publishing protected materials, and verify current government instructions before filing or relying on them. One purchase provides access only to the named member and may not be shared or transferred.
No promised outcome
Enrollment or completion does not guarantee qualifying experience, examination success, license issuance, employment, revenue, profitability, financing, insurance placement, or business performance. CSLB and other authorities make their own decisions.
