F11/F12/G11/G12 National Standard Building Contractor Exam Prep
ICC General Building Contractor Exams
The certification program offered by the International Code Council is a distinguished and well-established credentialing program for professionals in construction code administration and enforcement within the United States. Obtaining an ICC certification is an exceptional personal and professional achievement that can elevate one's professional standing significantly. Although many building departments and state agencies acknowledge the value of ICC certifications, it is not guaranteed that every government agency will recognize or accept this certification. To ensure compliance with varying licensing and employment requirements, we recommend that you contact the relevant agency directly.

Passing the exam is a crucial milestone, and we're here to assist you every step of the way. Our online training is conveniently self-paced and available on any device, allowing you to prepare for the exam at your own pace. Our exam preparation program is designed to increase your chances of passing on your first attempt and is supported by our no pass, no pay policy.
