Code professionals preparing to take a certification exam now have a new online resource guide created by the International Code Council. The guide makes it easier to find reference materials.

"International Code Council Certification is a significant accomplishment for code professionals," said International Code Council Vice President of Certification and Licensing David Nelson. "Whether it's for employment, state licensing or personal achievement, successful completion of specified examinations is necessary to obtain certification. Candidates can use this new resource to find the reference materials they need to study for and take the exams."

Required reference materials include codes and standards related to the specific area of expertise covered by each exam. Now, the International Code Council has made it easy to purchase these required materials, as well as other helpful study tools, all in one convenient online location.
