Prometric bought out Experior at some time in the past few years, and now their focus seems to have shifted a bit. The link above will direct you to information on a variety of test programs and preparation information. But, unfortunately, it does not appear that they still offer the same test prep information on the Tennessee General Contractor’s License that Experior once did.
For information on the different licensing and certification programs, choose an area of study to view the testing programs available in that field.
