Permit Technician Certification Test Prep Class (0.6 CEUs) Instructor: Serena Locke, CPT and OPTA President
This course is designed to help prepare participants interested in taking the ICC Permit Technician Certification Exam, familiarizing them with each of the code books and how to find necessary code information quickly and accurately. Although, it is primarily focused on the ICC PT exam, it is also a valuable resource to other individuals who would like to learn more or refresh their knowledge about code administration. The purpose of this course is to educate the participants on where to look in the code books for answers and not necessarily know the entire code.
