For those who prefer traditional classroom settings, our in-person courses offer a more direct and personal learning experience.
Leave each class with an official certificate of completion that can be used to apply for or renew your license.
Gain knowledge that goes beyond the code books by learning alongside your peers.
Our instructors are experienced professionals who will guide you through the required course material while leaving room for questions and discussion.
In-person classroom courses offer less flexibility but more interactivity. While limited to a specific time and place, you are able to ask questions and discuss topics with other learners.
Our online courses present the same material but with a self-paced format. The lectures are pre-made, but you can start and stop anytime and complete lessons around your schedule.
We recommend that you only consider classes offered by a state-approved provider like Builders License Training Institute. That way, your time spent in class will count toward state licensing requirements.
Other tips include:
Whether renewing your license or applying for one, you'll need proof that you completed your required training.
We provide official certificates of completion that you can use to complete the renewal process or apply for your MI builder license.
