Instead of piecing together code books, online prep, application help, and business formation tasks from multiple places, you get one organized solution designed to keep you moving forward with clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrywall contracting is hands-on work, but contractor exams are often code-driven and detail-sensitive. The challenge isn’t only understanding the trade—it’s being able to work efficiently in a reference-based environment. Many candidates lose time (and confidence) because they start in the wrong reference, search too broadly, or over-read when only a single requirement, condition, or exception decides the correct answer. The right prep trains a repeatable routine: identify what the question is asking, choose the best starting book, confirm the controlling language, and keep a steady pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1 Package is designed around that reality. It supports strong exam-day habits and adds the business foundation services that help you transition from “getting licensed” to “operating like a contractor.” If your goal is to be structured, compliant, and ready to run work under your own business name, this all-in-one approach helps you avoid the common friction points that slow candidates down after the exam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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 Plumbing Code, 2018; International Fuel Gas Code, 2018.\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 drywall contractor in Kansas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEIN Filing with the IRS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Obtain the Employer Identification Number (EIN) and the benefits: open business bank accounts, manage taxes properly, hire employees, operate the contracting business professionally.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContractor Compliance Guidance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assistance understanding compliance requirements so your business is positioned for long-term success.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Cost:\u003c\/strong\u003e $2,115\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefundable Deposit:\u003c\/strong\u003e $150 (refundable if books are returned in similar condition within 1 year)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal:\u003c\/strong\u003e $2,265 (All-Inclusive – No Hidden Fees!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith your books, course access, and included services in one place, you can focus your energy where it matters: building efficient reference-navigation habits, practicing exam-style questions with purpose, and getting your business legally structured and ready to operate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eExam Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis package supports preparation for the \u003cstrong\u003eKansas Standard Drywall Contractor (ICC - KGT)\u003c\/strong\u003e exam using the reference books listed on this page.
