Passed B2, M2, and Also CA's Exams
Good afternoon Chris, thanks for the extra time for that, passed the exam. The questions were right in line with the training received and the practice exams. Passed Commercial Building, and now also Commercial Mechanical. Even though your M2 course was geared towards the international code, I took the CA commercial mechanical exam and passed.
In the practice exams due to CA having some minor changes, answers are slightly different, however the process of reviewing and looking up the answers remains the same. Since you could not just go straight to the sections detailed in the course, it took a bit more referencing the index. On your final practice exam I scored a 40%, however looked up each answer so felt most of that score was more of a reflection of the differences in code. Turned around the next morning and took the CA exam and was done in 90 mins.

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.

Commercial Building Course Developer
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 50 hours of online instruction and practice. I’m also one click away from any coaching you may need!
