The International Code Council’s Contractor/Trades examination program is an independent
testing program designed to provide licensing agencies with information regarding qualified
contractors and trades professionals. Participating in the Code Council examination program
does not guarantee that a licensing agency will award you a license. However, the Code
Council examination program serves as an independent appraisal of your competency in the
construction field, and your test results may be used by licensing agencies to satisfy the
requirements for testing.
The International Code Council is not a licensing agency. If you want to become licensed in a city,
county, or state that participates with the Code Council, that jurisdiction will require you to take and
pass a Code Council examination. Upon successful completion of the examination, contact the
jurisdiction for any other requirements in order to become licensed.

About Code Council Contractor/Trades Testing
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Contractor/Trades Bulletin
www.iccsafe.org | page 4
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide you with information regarding how to
schedule and take your contractor/trades examination. Prior to scheduling a test with
this program, you should first consult with your local or state licensing agency to
determine which examination you should take. Some agencies may also require you to
meet certain prequalification criteria prior to testing. You should therefore start your
testing process by determining what test your local agency requires of you.
This bulletin is designed to follow the testing process from the initial application for
testing up until the time when testing results are provided.

General Information and Frequently Asked Questions
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Contractor/Trades Bulletin
www.iccsafe.org | page 5
Before the Exam
Before Purchasing an Exam
What examination do I need to take?
As requirements for employment differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, the Code Council cannot
recommend specific examinations to you. We strongly encourage you to contact the jurisdiction
in which you wish to work for more information on their specific exam requirements for
licensure.
How do I know if pre-approval is required for me to test?
Some licensing agencies may require you to apply through them prior to testing with ICC, while
others may not. Please contact your local licensing agency or review the appropriate National
Contractor/Trades Examination Information Bulletin on the Code Council’s website
.
How often can I test?
You must wait 10 days before retaking a failed exam. It is strongly recommended that you allow
time to study the approved references before registering to test a second time.
What examination methods are available?
The Code Council offers two different testing methods.
Pearson VUE - Traditional, computer-based testing occurs at test sites administered by
Pearson VUE frequently at over 350 sites across the nation. To locate test sites in your
area, visit the Pearson VUE website for an updated listing of sites. Be aware that test sites
are subject to change.
Proctored Remote Online Testing Option (PRONTO) - is available any time; 24/7,
365 days/year. You can take your exam at your convenience on your home or office
computer through a cloud-based testing system called PRONTO, offering secured online
proctored exams. You will need a webcam and computer with working audio capability.
For more information on PRONTO, click here
.
***Currently limited to specific exam titles; additional exams to become available 2022.
Visit the Exam Catalog
for information on which testing method is available for your exam.
What references or code books are the exams based on?
The approved references for each exam are listed in the Examination Outlines section of this
bulletin. For the most up- to-date bulletin information, visit the Exam Catalog
.
Are the examinations open book?
Most Contractor/Trades exams are open book. Refer to the Examination Outlines section of
this bulletin for open/ closed book requirements for specific exams. For the most up-to-date
bulletin, visit the Exam Catalog
. Additional policies governing the use of references can be
found later in this bulletin.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Contractor/Trades Bulletin
www.iccsafe.org | page 6
What type of question format will be included in the examination?
Test questions are in four-option, multiple-choice format, with one answer on each question
scored as correct. Due to the rigorous psychometric processes used by the Code Council in exam
development, questions do not follow patterns (e.g., “the most common answer is ‘B’”).
Can’t I just look up all of the answers in the books?
Because of the time constraints, you will not have time to look up all of the answers. For those
answers you must look up, you must be VERY familiar with the references to avoid wasting
time searching for information. First impressions are often the most accurate, but you may
change your answers if time allows.
How long are the examinations?
The length and allowed time vary depending upon the subject matter. To get the most updated
information on examinations, visit the Exam Catalog
.
Should I guess if I don’t know the answer to a question?
There is no guessing penalty, so it is to your advantage to answer every question. Remember to
base your answers on the listed references for each exam, not solely on long-time field
practices.
What score do I need to pass the test?
Most Contractor/Trades examinations require a candidate to answer at least 70 percent of
their questions correctly in order to pass the exam. The Master Electrician examination
requires 75 percent of the questions to be answered correctly to pass. Particular licensing
agencies may require a passing score of higher than 70. It is important that you carefully
read the relevant bulletin or contact the licensing agency for information regarding their
minimum passing requirement.
When will I receive my results?
Results for examinations taken electronically are available immediately after completion of the
examination.
Do I have to be a computer whiz?
Candidates are not required to have any computer knowledge to take the examination.
Pearson VUE - before you begin your test, you may take up to 15 minutes to practice
with the sample questions. Timing of the examination does not begin until you look at
the first question of the actual examination. You will be allowed to change your answers,
mark answers for review, go back to skipped questions and, time permitting, review your
test.
PRONTO a Tutorial exam is available upon exam purchase. Log in to your myICC
account and go to Pronto Dashboard.
How do I pay for my exam?
Pearson VUE - Examination fees must be paid by credit card, debit card (issued
through VISA or MasterCard) or electronic check at the time a reservation is made, NOT
at the test center. Candidates who do not have or do not wish to use a credit card, debit
card, or personal checking account may choose to prepay their examination fees using a
voucher. Vouchers can be purchased online at ICC Contractors Vouchers
by credit card,
either singly or in volume. To redeem a voucher as payment when scheduling a test,
simply indicate “voucher” as the payment method and provide the voucher number.

How do I make comments about an exam I took?
Some scores may be rendered invalid because of circumstances beyond the examinee’s control,
such as faulty examination materials or mistiming. These situations will be investigated; when such
occurrences result in cancellation of an examinee’s scores, the Code Council will arrange for a
makeup examination for the examinees concerned.
To have Code Council Assessment Center staff review comments or challenges on specific exams,
exam items, or any issues encountered during your examination, you must submit a Contractor
Appeals form to the Code Council.
Our experience shows that the best comments are those that come as soon after the testing
process as possible. Include sufficient amount of detail to aid staff in the review of your challenged
question(s) or issues related to the exam experience. Following receipt of your challenge,
Assessment Center staff will investigate each comment for merit and final determination of approval
or denial of your challenge.
You will be mailed a response from Code Council staff within 15 business days from receipt of the
form by the Code Council; a request for staff review is based solely upon the most recent examination
taken.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you retake a failed exam on which you have submitted an appeal, you will
forfeit your appeal opportunity for that exam attempt.
Comment/Challenge forms must be sent to the following mailing or email address:
