Chattanooga, TN (February 11, 2016) --- Chattanooga State’s Economic and Community Education Department is partnering with Cleveland State Community College to offer a 30-hour Limited Residential Contractor Licensing class. The class will meet two consecutive Fridays and Saturdays, March 18-19 and March 25-26 at Cleveland State’s campus located at 3535 Adkisson Drive in Cleveland. Class cost is $449 and limited to 20 students.

The course includes the license application process, international building codes, an introduction to Tennessee construction laws, legal and financial issues, accounting practices, loans, liens, and insurance.

Participants will learn to read blueprints, build to specifications and adhere to codes and regulations.
