Icc certification ceu requirements

ICC is dedicated to strengthening the Certification program to meet the needs of code officials, members, and stakeholders in building safety.

This is accomplished through the establishment of the Professional Development Council (PDC), which is comprised of the Education Committee (EC) and Certification Committee (CC).

The mission of the Certification Committee is to promote professionalism of individuals in the built environment by providing professional examinations and certification services worldwide.

The CC has sole authority over the rules and procedures of the ICC Certification Program, including such topics as the renewals process, examination security policies, and disciplinary action.

Examination scores can be cancelled.

Denial of certifications or examination results shall be considered for irregularities which are suspecting during examination administrations.

• Giving or receiving assistance with answers during testing
• Using unauthorized materials during testing
• Failing to abide by the rules presented or directions from the proctor(s), including causing a recorded disturbance at a test site
• Attempting to remove or removing examination materials or questions from the testing center
• Documented evidence of inappropriate behavior

Note: In cases of examination irregularities which are suspected at testing centers, the scores of the individual(s) involved will not be released unless approved by the Code Council. Additional sanctions may be authorized by the Certification Committee, which may include restrictions on retesting for up to three (3) years.

Certifications may be suspended or revoked.

Suspension or revocation of certifications for a period up to three (3) years shall be considered for the following ethics violations, as determined by action of the Committee, and shall follow the complaint resolution process.

• Falsifying score reports or ICC certificates
• Conviction on charges related to professional ethics
• Compromising the security of ICC’s examinations through release of copyrighted examination items
• Other Code of Ethics violations which are documented and deemed proven

Some scores may be rendered invalid because of circumstances beyond the examinee’s control, such as faulty examination materials or mistiming. In accordance with the Certification Committee Rules of Procedure, these situations will be investigated; when such occurrences result in cancellation of an examinee’s scores, the Code Council will arrange for a makeup examination for the examinees concerned.

Candidates whose certification(s) have been revoked or suspended will be allowed to retest after their designated revocation/suspension period, and if all exam criteria are met, will be allowed to become an active holder of that certification(s) again.

The Code Council complies with all provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

If you have a disability that prohibits you from taking the examination under standard conditions, you may request special arrangements.
