Most Code Council examinations are open to all individuals with no prerequisite for experience or education. Code Council certification should be used as one of several measures of an individual’s qualifications when screening applicants for a position. Inspectors should possess the right mix of technical knowledge, education, and related experience.

Note: In some situations a local jurisdiction may require preauthorization for state or jurisdiction specific exams.
