Fire and Codes Academy to Offer ICC Certification Testing
Mon, 08 Oct 2007 16:30:02 -0400

The Tennessee Building Officials Association received news from the Fire and Codes Academy today that ICC will provide testing at the Academy during the December 2007 and March 2008 testing dates. This is great news especially for anyone enrolled in class study at the Academy and for anyone not wanting to test at other sites.

ICC, along with the Academy staff, will monitor how many applicants take advantage of this enhanced service. If you know of anyone wishing to take the test, please encourage them to use the Academy test site. I applaud the efforts of Roger and his staff, for working this out with ICC on a trial basis. You asked for it. You got it. Now please use it.
