Billy,

What you really need is the loose-leaf book with the Turbo-Tabs.

2006 International Residential Code® For One- And Two-Family Dwellings (loose leaf)

Turbo Tabs - 2006 IRC Loose Leaf

The reason you want the loose leaf version is so that you add your own pages to the book. My partner (Greg Bell) and myself have written an extensive exam prep for these exams and in our course we share how to set up your book for quick access during exam time, you can check us out here.

Assurance Check, LLC

BTW I am already an R5 (Residential Combination Inspector) having passed all four exams, go here & type Burkeson in the search window.

Bill,
If you want to be head and shoulders above the rest get ICC Certified!

Joseph Burkeson & Greg Bell have put together a terrific program and
I highly recommend it!

I suggest that you contact Joe ASAP.

Ditto

Joe,

I can’t access your site right now. How much is your exam prep? Also, I see after checking your name your certifications expire in 09. Do you have to repay and retest to keep them going?

Bill

Billy, I’d recommend the Assurance Check program. I signed up for it well over a year ago but was not able to make it to a class, but I made full use of the software. It was very helpful.

I still need to take the electrical and plumbing tests. Maybe later this year.

I have one question - there are a lot of people out there that say they are ICC certified, but their names never come up in the search on the iccsafe.org website. What gives??

Yes I agree. That needs investigated. How much is the Assurance Check program? I can’t gain access to the site right now.

Q: Once you past a test say the first one B1. Can you display the logo on your site without joining up as a member of ICC to get discounts?
