"Construction Based Trades Academy is everything I need. This comprehensive training course is what I've been looking for. In all my years of education experiences this is by far the best.

CBTA participants must be 18 years old to begin the program. CBTA does not guarantee employment, rather provides access to career opportunities. Contractors should be aware that program graduates may be seeking job opportunities with access to public transportation until they acquire funds to secure a vehicle. All CBTA graduates understand that gaining transportation is a priority in order to sustain employment.
