South Carolina Business Management and Law Exam Prep
COURSE SYLLABUS
Course Description
Plumbers in South Carolina are required to take and pass a Business Management and Law exam. The state wants to ensure that business owners understand the basics of running a business, and more importantly, know the regulations that govern business practices in their state. This course will prepare you for the business portion of the plumber exam and is based on the relevant materials cited in the PSI Candidate Bulletin.
We highly recommend that you purchase the NASCLA Business, Law and Project Management Guide as a study companion to this course. You are permitted to take the book into the exam, so we have designed the course around it. Being familiar with the guide will allow you to find material that you are not certain of quickly and efficiently. It is a very useful resource!
