Some buildings have a high level of hazards that may affect people inside and outside the building, as well as the emergency responders. This interactive online course teaches you about the International Building Code and how it’s used to regulate building occupancy and hazards. You will learn about the code adoption process and how the code is enforced through the review of construction plans and the inspection of the work. You will also learn about the differences between the types of construction and how they are addressed in the design of a building. This course will outline the process to determine the size of buildings based on the occupancy classification and type of construction.
 
Developed in partnership with the International Code Council.

great examples, and video and audio was very helpful.
The exam was clear cut and to the point, and the material of the exam was covered in the lesson, which is very good! However, the lesson itself is advertised as 2 hours, and runs over by a good margin even if the attendee is actively moving it forward as expected

Spent well over 2 hours -- closer to 2
By (Architect, Engineer, Interior Designer) on Oct, 28, 2021
Spent well over 2 hours -- closer to 2.5 hours on a significant amount of material -- should provide at least 2.5 hours of credit.
