Certification for construction students

[Inspector 102]

The local building trades program is interested in having their students get some kind of certification through the class. In Indiana, I am not aware of any certification that would fit this type of goal. I know that ICC has the certification in the different modules they could try for, but does anyone have any other suggestions that I could pass on to the school. Thanks.

Well, how about National Building Contractor A, B or C? Or better yet, the Commercial or Residential Building Inspector or Plans Examiners certs?

Inspector 102,

Typically, the entity providing the class is usually endorsed by

someone........Maybe ICC, ...a local construction trades shop,

...possibly a local community college - vocational shop, and

other.....They will have a set of construction code books that

they use [ i.e. - ICC, UBC, others ]......Hopefully they have

used a current set of codes that can be applied right away.

I encountered this scenario last year, when a local community

college asked me for input......I directed them to be using the

ICC set of codes, latest edition......They had been using

something totally different [ non-ICC, non-UBC ]......Since

the community college was teaching the course, they were

the ones to endorse and provide wall certificates to the

students.

If you need a FREE example of a wall certificate, send me

a PM.

Inspector 102, this should help. I hope to see this program grow and provide our country with the next generation of code officials.

I passed the information for the High School training program over to the instructor. He seemed very interested and I will work with him to persue this farther for possibly next year implementation. Thanks for the advise.
