I found the SI Certs Program an extremely helpful tool in obtaining my ICC B2 Commercial Building Inspector Certification. Completing the coursework and practice exams gave me the confidence I needed to pass this difficult exam.

I completed the Commercial Building Inspector course and also passed my ICC exam today. It was a nightmare and I couldn’t have done it without your program and Tom’s coaching help! I think Fireproofing is next.

This certification requires no prior work experience or other certifications. It demonstrates an understanding of the International Building Code for those currently working in a building department, or seeking to work for one.
For special inspectors, it is often acceptable when the local jurisdiction requires some demonstration of wood inspection qualification, since the International Building Code (IBC) addresses wood construction code requirements in-depth.
The ICC B2 Commercial Building Inspector certification belongs in the Commercial Inspection Suite, also expressed as the C5 Commercial Combination designation – inclusive of Commercial Building, Commercial Mechanical, Commercial Electrical, and Commercial Plumbing certifications.
Frankly, this course is amazing and one-of-a-kind. It walks a user through understanding the vast and complex IBC. With many examples, visuals, and practice, one can grasp the enormity of this code reference and the depth to which it reaches in so many areas of the construction process.
We’ll get you ready for the test with our 45 hours of online instruction and practice. I’m also one click away from any coaching you may need!
