ICC B1 - Residential Inspector Exam
B1 Residential Building Inspector Exam Prep
These nationally-recognized exams were developed by ICC as a way of analyzing a standardized level of education for licensed professionals nationwide. Although few state boards will issue a license based solely on these exams, many local and municipal agencies will. In any scenario, passing these exams is a testament to the knowledge and skill of anyone who passes.
Keep a cool head on the day of the exam by using our exam simulator, which builds a custom practice test each time with questions similar to the ones you will see on the real thing. Get stuck on a question / topic? You can send our licensing support team a question 24/7 online or you can give us a call during weekday business hours. We can explain a concept, help with tricky tables, or clarify something that isn't quite "clicking". Pass any trade exam with RocketCert and Accelerate and Advance Your Career.

How do I obtain a license with ICC Contractor/Trade Exams?
Passing these exams alone is not enough to obtain a license. Applicants must submit a license application with the proper state or local boards and satisfy their individual licensing requirements. Review the requirements prior to sitting for the exam. The best place to find more details about the requirements is by contacting the issuing board directly.
Most places require license holders to complete continuing education every year or two years in order to renew the license. We offer state-approved continuing education for trades across the country.
How hard is the Residential Building Inspector Exam? We help people pass this exam every day via online exam prep courses and live support. We are so confident we can help you, we offer a No Pass, No Pay Guarantee on our exam prep courses.
The first step is to review and understand all of the licensing requirements for the specific license you are seeking. Many places have financial and legal requirements for licensure.
Some licensing agencies may require you to apply through them prior to testing with ICC, while others may not. Please contact your local licensing agency or review the appropriate National Contractor/Trades Examination Information Bulletin on the Code Council’s website.
It's never too soon to start studying for the exam. It covers a broad range of topics and you must wait 10 days before retaking a failed exam.
Once you feel comfortable with the content and have passed multiple practice exams, it's time to schedule the exam. You can schedule the exam on the ICC website.
Once you pass the exam, you will receive a physical copy of your passing score at the facility. You may also request a Replacement Result Letter directly from ICC.
