Welcome to the Gold Coast School of Construction Student Orientation hosted every Monday from 5:00pm to 6:30pm via Zoom-Only.

This is an extremely important session for newer students, though any active student is welcome to attend. In this session, we review how to register with the state to obtain your Candidate ID number, how to schedule your exam with Pearson Vue, and how to access the applications when you are ready to apply for your license.

We also review the Candidate Handbook for all Division I and Division II license categories. In addition, we will review how to access your student account, how to navigate the Program Schedule, how to find the Zoom links for your weeknight classes and workshops, as well as how to launch the hundreds of Practice Exam questions included in your tuition.

The Orientation Zoom link is located in your student account.
