Important Course Disclosures

Exam preparation only: This course is not a comprehensive building code training program. It focuses on exam readiness, reference navigation, and test-taking strategies.

No guarantee of passing: Participation does not guarantee a passing exam score. Additional independent study is encouraged.

Licensing is a separate process: Completing this course does not provide a contractor license or replace applicable licensing requirements.

Exam registration is separate: Registering for this course does not register you for the ICC exam. Participants are responsible for arranging their exam and confirming applicable fees.

Confirm current requirements: Participants should verify their exam selection, approved reference materials, and current licensing requirements with ICC and the City of Omaha before testing.
