ICC Certifications
NOTE: Anyone can take an ICC exam to become a certified inspector. Most states / jurisdictions will accept this to get a license (if required).
The State of Florida has several additional requirements before you become licensed most notable:
- 5 years of field experience in each trade.
- 2 years of field experience in construction and complete a 300-hour Transition Program.
FYI
You do not have to have permission from the State of Florida to take any ICC exams, but you have to pay full price. You have to use the regular ICC exam code when registering fo rthe exam, not the Florida number. For example the Florida code for Commercial Building Inspector is 2B, but the regular ICC code is B2.

If you work for a governmental entity and want to only pay $5.00 to take an exam, then you will have to achieve their permission.
This program does not offer CEUs for the state.
