I have been in Construction for 25 years. This is best tutorial video for a Exam class, the best instructor i have seen. No B.S, great tips and techniques to find the relevant information quick, very straightforward and informative. I just checked the website, too bad it doesnt provide G13 IRC exam.
I am a registered architect and professional structural engineer for 35 years. Wade is knowledgeable, full of experience and an excellent teacher reducing large subject matter into easy to follow fundamentals. I highly reccomend his seminars
This was the most helpful video I've watch and trust me I've watched a lot , too bad you don't have the rest chapter's LOL Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.I'm preparing to take the exam and I needed this video!!!
Do you have anything for the plumbing code? Fortunately I recently passed the IBC , and IRC, but where I work are requiring the plumbing and mechanical now, thanks
@@javiersanchez_marquez We have test preparation classes available for the New Mexico plumbing, HVAC, gasfitting, and process piping tests. They can be found here constructioncontinuinged.com/product-category/nm-test-preparation/ Certainly they will be helpful in navigating the code and doing the calculations, but won't be specific to your municipality.
I find it very difficult to locate information in the IRC. Glazing is a perfect example. When you use the index it does not reference other areas that also give info for glazing requirements. I find this type of issue everywhere in IRC. When taking a test that only gives you 90 seconds to find the answer, the structure issues of the book make this impossible.
that's why he says you have to understand what is the context first. if you're looking for glazing in general( let's say opening requirements ) the index would send you to chapter 3 . however if glazing pops up related to energy efficiency (the context would be energy efficiency) then you would find glazing in chapter 11.
Each municipality will have its own rules. Texas, on other PSI exams, allows notes, so I am sure that is just what the employees at the testing center are used to. The candidate information bulletin is pretty clear that notes are not allowed, so I wouldn't chance it.
Our complete test prep course can be found at constructioncontinuinged.com/product/icc-g12-test-preparation/ That course has questions and answers we have been seeing on the exam. We do not offer a separate book.
I have a class C (g13) currently, and I figured going for a class A (g11) will allow me to take on any project.. is this thinking correct? From what you said the class B (g12) sounds more wide spread in terms of projects I can take on. (I want to get into apartment and small commercial projects) just asking in general, as I’m sure it is location dependent. (I live in NE and there is no state-based test)
The G12 actually covers both residential and commercial. License classes depend on jurisdiction. Generally apartments are considered commercial buildings and would require a commercial license.
If you are talking about the ICC contractor's exam, yes. If you have a state exam you are studying for, you would need to check the candidate information bulletin for that state's test to see which books the test is based on, and whether or not you can bring the book to the exam.

Read the question twice but read the entire question. understand what you Read, before you go on the search. read, (every answer) then make you choice. and when it comes to tables, make sure the numbers are in the right order. Go through every question, answer as many as you know firsthand, then go back to the questionable questions, and the hard questions last. "Don't get hung up on a question" move on. you may find the answer to that question, by looking for something else.

Thanks for the video! I was trying to find what I need to prepare for the exam and the information was too scattered and unclear. Now that I'm watching this, it encourages me a lot. I've only built a few houses, but have been designing and engineering them (as a hobby) for a while, yet completely detached from the verbiage used in the industry. If I can have the book with me at the exam, then that solves most of it.

I felt the same way. It is also best to go through and just tab, tab, tab- even if purchased a tab book.
I live in San Antonio and I went to ask questions and they said writing in your book is perfectly fine.

what about highlights and tabbed books? I'm in Tennessee.@@constructionseminars4197

Im in Mississippi will i be able to us my 2018 irc for the trade as well ? Or is it just for the codes
According to the ICC website, the current adopted code in Mississippi is the 2018 IRC so you will, most likely, use that code in the field.
If I was looking to become a building Inspector, should I take the 2018 or the 2021 code exam? Will it make a difference?
It depends on which code you are being tested on.
can the IRC book be used to study for the contractors exam as well?
If you are talking about the ICC contractor's exam, yes. If you have a state exam you are studying for, you would need to check the candidate information bulletin for that state's test to see which books the test is based on, and whether or not you can bring the book to the exam.
Where can I find the full course this is from? I can't seem to find it on the website. I specifically need the 2018 IRC (as shown in this video)

@@constructionseminars4197do we need to prepare for 2021 or go with 2018 for Colorado state. Can you please advise. Thanks
@@jesse20241 Each jurisdiction in Colorado has its own requirements. Find out the requirements from the local building department and take the exam that corresponds with their requirements.
@@constructionseminars4197 ok but icc g13 is based on 2018 . There is no 2021 version of the test on Pearson vue. I don’t quite understand this
Today do you suggest 2018 or 2021 . Can you please advice
Depends on what you are being tested on. Each jurisdiction has its own testing requirements. Find out the rules where you are trying to get licensed.
@@constructionseminars4197 ok but icc g13 is based on 2018 . There is no 2021 version of the test . I don’t quite understand why
@@jesse20241 most states are behind on the codes, Florida is still using 2018
Do you have a course for ICC special inspectors
No, sorry we do not.
Do you agree?

In Virginia can I use the IRC 2018?
It looks like in VA you use the 2015 Uniform Statewide Building Code.
Here is the candidate information bulletin www.dpor.virginia.gov/sites/default/files/boards/Contractors/CIB_PSI_Contr_BusDE.pdf
