A contractor asked is there a course on how to become an unlicensed contractor. Currently I don't have one but I thought it might be interesting to explore.
We do have a business course for remodelers and home improvement contractors who are licensed but we will discuss that another day.
What about the guy/gal with no license who 
wants to start a construction business? Where do they go to school?
I was thinking...What should we use for a course title?.....What topics should we teach?
Gus and Gals, Readers, I think I need your help...here are some topics that come to mind.. please add topics that you think I missed....we want to make sure that unlicensed contractors get a complete education...
