New Contractor/Trades Examination Information Bulletin

The International Code Council’s Contractor/Trades examination program is an independent testing program designed to provide licensing agencies with information regarding qualified contractors and trades professionals. Participating in the Code Council examination program does not guarantee that a licensing agency will award you a license. However, the Code Council examination program serves as an independent appraisal of your competency in the construction field, and your test results may be used by licensing agencies to satisfy the requirements for testing.

This bulletin answers most questions raised by examination candidates.

Examination information, including registration/scheduling requirements, dates, locations, fees, and references, are subject to change.

Candidates should make sure they have the most current information before registering for/scheduling a Code Council examination by going to www.iccsafe.org/contractor.
