How the Boot Camp Works
Four Weeks of Structure, Live on Zoom
Most people don't struggle with the NASCLA exam because they aren't capable. They struggle because they don't have a system. The Boot Camp gives you one: live guided sessions twice a week, weekly goals, and a step-by-step study path from day one to exam day.

To Pass the Exam
≈ 70% correct
You join on Zoom from wherever you are, so it fits around a working week. Every session is recorded, so a busy week on the job never leaves you behind. Want to compare it with the one-day class and the Study Vault? See Three Paths to Prep below.
Who This Is For
Built for Contractors Who Keep Putting Off Studying
The Boot Camp is for contractors who know they need more than a one-day class. You start studying, then lose momentum, get pulled away by work and life, or never feel sure what to focus on. If that sounds familiar, the problem isn't you. It's studying without a system.
-
You start strong, then stall
You open the books with good intentions, and a few weeks later you're no closer to ready.
-
Work keeps getting in the way
Jobs, crews and family come first. Without a set time to study, the exam keeps sliding.
-
The books feel overwhelming
The NASCLA reference list is the longest of any NC route, and it's hard to know where to start or what matters most.
-
You tried it alone and it never came together
Maybe you sat the exam and ran out of time. Maybe you never booked it. Either way, more willpower isn't the fix. Structure is.

Verifying the RulesOfficial Sources
Where to Verify the Rules Yourself
We prepare you for the exam; we don't run it or set its rules. NASCLA, PSI and the NC Licensing Board decide the requirements, fees and book list, and those can change, so confirm the details with them before you apply or book your exam.
-
NASCLA / NED (ned.nascla.org)
The official source for the accredited exam, the participating-state list, your application, and your National Examination Database transcript.
-
PSI Examination Services
Administers the NASCLA exam sitting. Confirm the current candidate bulletin, the approved reference-book list, and required editions before you register.
-
NC Licensing Board (NCLBGC)
For the North Carolina license itself — application, classification approval, reciprocity, and the NC law, rule and building code exam that reciprocity applicants must pass. nclbgc.org

NCCA — Your Prep Provider
We prepare you for the exam. We don't administer it or set the rules, so always verify specs, fees, and the book list on the official bulletins above.
Boot Camp Questions
Common Boot Camp Questions
When does the next Boot Camp start?
After you reserve your seat, we email you to confirm your cohort's start date. When start dates are posted, they also show in the calendar on this page. Want to know the next start date before you buy? Call (910) 227-9002.
Is the Boot Camp in person?
No. The Boot Camp runs live on Zoom, two sessions a week for four weeks, so you can join from home, the office or the job trailer, anywhere in North Carolina. If you would rather learn in a classroom, the NASCLA 1-Day class meets in person.
What if I miss a session?
Every session is recorded, so you can catch up before the next one.
What's the difference between the 1-Day Class and the 4-Week Boot Camp?
The 1-Day Class is for self-disciplined studiers who need a focused jumpstart — exam strategy, book organization, and a study roadmap. The Boot Camp adds 4 weeks of guided weekly study sessions and accountability for contractors who need structure to stay consistent.
What's the Boot Camp + 1-Day combo?
Get the Boot Camp and the NASCLA 1-Day class together and the 1-Day class is free: both programs for $2,060, a $365 saving. See The Ultimate NASCLA Prep Combo above.
Do I need the reference books?
Yes. The NASCLA exam is open book and PSI provides none of the references, so you bring your own. We sell 23 of the 24 books on PSI's list, tabbed and highlighted; see the book bundle above.
What's the pass rate?
There is no published pass rate for the NASCLA exam to compare against, and passing candidates receive a pass notice, not a numerical score. What we can tell you is how the prep works: it teaches test strategy and fast book navigation, not just content. Call (910) 227-9002 to talk through your situation.
What if I don't pass?
You can retake it: NASCLA allows up to 3 attempts within 1 year of approving your application, and after that you reapply once the year has expired. Each attempt costs time and money, which is why we focus on getting it right the first time. Call us for retake guidance if needed.
Do you offer materials I can take home?
Yes — every class includes structured study materials, book-organization checklists, and follow-up resources sent to your email after the class.
