Instead of piecing together books, study resources, and business formation tasks separately, this package brings the major pieces together in one all-inclusive path—so you can focus on progress and consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContractor licensing is rarely just “study and test.” In the real world, contractors are expected to understand core HVAC fundamentals, code-based concepts, planning and sizing logic, duct construction practices, jobsite safety responsibilities, and the business mindset that supports legal operation and long-term success. The 1 Package is designed around that reality. It includes key trade references and a Hawaii-specific business guide, along with services that help you form your business entity, obtain an EIN, and get practical compliance guidance so you can be positioned to operate professionally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou also stated this is a \u003cstrong\u003eclosed-book\u003c\/strong\u003e exam. That matters because closed-book preparation requires a different approach: your goal is retention and application. Instead of relying on references during the test, you build the ability to recall key concepts, recognize scenarios, and make contractor-level decisions under time pressure. This package is structured to support that kind of preparation by combining reputable study resources with a longer study window and an all-in-one setup mindset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 3px solid #d32f2f; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; background-color: #fff7f7;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Book(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e International Mechanical Code, 2018; Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, 22nd Edition; Manual N - Commercial Load Calculation for Small Commercial Buildings, 5th Edition; HVAC Duct Construction Standards, Metal and Flexible; Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA); NASCLA Contractors Guide to Business, Law and Project Management (Hawaii edition), 1st Edition (2022).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCourse Access:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 year of course access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Service:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included with this package.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBusiness Formation (LLC or Corporation):\u003c\/strong\u003e Establish your business entity so you are legally structured and ready to operate as a ventilating and air conditioning contractor in Hawaii.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEIN Filing with the IRS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Obtain your Employer Identification Number (EIN) so you can open business bank accounts, manage taxes properly, hire employees, and operate your contracting business professionally.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContractor Compliance Guidance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assistance understanding compliance requirements necessary for contractors so your business is positioned for long-term success.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003ePricing \u0026amp; Deposit Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Cost:\u003c\/strong\u003e $2,555\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefundable Deposit:\u003c\/strong\u003e $650 (refundable if books are returned in similar condition within 1 year)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal:\u003c\/strong\u003e $3,205 (All-Inclusive – No Hidden Fees!)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe $650 deposit is refundable based on the stated return window and book condition at return.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eExam Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis package is intended to support preparation for the Hawaii Ventilating and Air Conditioning Contractor (C-52) exam.
