Voluntary Certification Program
ICBO SETTING THE STANDARD
PREPARATION FOR CERTIFICATION EXAMS
Established in 1973, the International

Conference of Building Officials Voluntary
Certification Program is the oldest, largest and
most prestigious professional certification program in the U.S. for construction inspectors. It
provides a nationally recognized credential that
attests to comprehensive knowledge of construction codes and standards used by professional code-enforcement personnel. This professional credential is commonly recognized as a
mandatory employment or state licensure
requirement.*
ICBO certification examinations are de-signed

to be comprehensive measures of the knowledge of
professional codes and standards, that is necessary
for competent professional practice. The best
preparation for the examinations is a combination
of appropriate construction experience and extensive professional training. Short courses are usually not adequate by themselves in mastering the
knowledge required for these diverse professions.
ICBO examinations are maintained to the highest standards, which

include continuous peer review by national certification committees of
experienced, practicing professionals. They are administered nationally through a computer-based testing (CBT) network, which permits
quick test registration and immediate test scoring. Individuals who are
successful on the examination are listed on ICBOs website at
www.icbo.org two months after taking the CBT exam.
Many public and private colleges provide training for construction inspection. Consult with local
colleges and building departments for information
on these programs. ICBO also offers a comprehensive series of seminars, reference books and videos for professional code-enforcement
training, with most of these resources focused on the needs of practicing code-enforcement inspectors. While these resources may be helpful as one element of professional training for these certification
examinations, they are not designed or intended for specific examination preparation.
For additional information and a complimentary candidate bulletin, please contact ICBO directly at (800) 423-6587, x3419. For electronic
information, ICBOs e-mail address is cert@icbo.org, or visit ICBOs web site at www.icbo.org.
