The construction industry rolls over billions of dollars annually through new construction and alterations to existing structures. Entry-level salaries of estimators start at an average of $55,000, and you have the ability to make as much as $225,000 with five to ten years' experience. Our job placement team will help our students, new to the industry, find competitive jobs that are a great start to their career.


All of the courses at CEBD are taught by current high-level construction professionals. We pride ourselves on the fact that all of our courses cover only the essentials for a career in construction and do not teach any unnecessary theories. As such, employers value the students who come out of our programs. We encourage recent high school graduates interested in construction to come and train with us instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars on a liberal arts education and being left unemployed or working odd-jobs. With a high school diploma and four months with us, our students will be able to enter the work force much earlier and by investing proportionately much less money in their education.
