Step 1: Confirm which pre-license course you need
Utah offers two state-approved pre-license contractor courses. Before registering, it’s important to confirm which one applies to your license path.
- General contractors and those overseeing full projects typically need the 30-hour pre-license course.
- Subcontractors and specialty contractors generally complete the 25-hour pre-license course.
If you’re unsure which course applies to your license classification, it’s best to confirm with us before enrolling. Choosing the correct course ensures your Completion Certificate will be accepted when you apply for your license.

Step 2: Choose your class schedule and location
Once you’ve identified the correct course, the next step is selecting a class schedule that works for you.
Utah pre-license courses are offered in-person, with multiple available times including:
- Day classes, typically held during standard business hours
- Night classes, designed for contractors balancing work during the day
Classes are offered in approved locations such as Salt Lake City and St. George, with availability varying by course type and date. You’ll select your preferred session during the registration process.

Who teaches the course vs. who helps you register
This is one of the most common points of confusion.
The pre-license contractor courses themselves are taught by Associated General Contractors of Utah (AGC), a DOPL-approved provider authorized to deliver Utah’s required pre-license training.
Contractors School facilitates the registration process and provides support, helping contractors:
- Select the correct course
- Register successfully
- Receive reminders and guidance
- Understand what comes next in the licensing process
This structure ensures your training is delivered by an approved provider while still giving you hands-on support throughout enrollment and beyond.

What happens after you sign up?
After registering, you can expect the following:
- A confirmation email verifying your enrollment
- Follow-up communication with class details, including location and logistics
- Attendance requirements and what to bring on class day
After completing the course, you’ll receive a Completion Certificate that is required when submitting your contractor license application to the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL).
