The International Code Council’s (ICC) Master Code Professional (MCP) designation is the highest level of ICC certification and is the “gold standard” for demonstrating proficiency in the code profession. 

A Master Code Professional’s achievements contribute both to the advancement of code enforcement and the well-being of their communities. While thousands have been certified by ICC, only a select number have attained this high level of achievement.

To become an MCP, a candidate must obtain 30 credits by passing ICC examinations. The credits are divided into two categories, core examinations totaling 20 credits, and elective examinations totaling 10 credits. Once achieved, an MCP must complete 60 hours of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) every three years to remain in “active” status.
