The International Code Council is a member-focused association. It is dedicated to developing model codes and standards used in the design, build and compliance process to construct safe, sustainable, affordable and resilient structures. Most U.S. communities and many global markets choose the International Codes.
The International Codes®, or I-Codes®, published by ICC, provide minimum safeguards for people at home, at school and in the workplace. The I-Codes are a complete set of comprehensive, coordinated building safety and fire prevention codes. Building codes benefit public safety and support the industry’s need for one set of codes without regional limitations.
Fifty states and the District of Columbia have adopted the I-Codes at the state or jurisdictional level. Federal agencies including the Architect of the Capitol, General Services Administration, National Park Service, Department of State, U.S. Forest Service and the Veterans Administration also enforce the I-Codes. The Department of Defense references the International Building Code® for constructing military facilities, including those that house U.S. troops around the world and at home. Amtrak uses the International Green Construction Code® for new and extensively renovated sites and structures. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands enforce one or more of the I-Codes.

Training Program
The Technical Training Program (TTP) is a flexible educational program designed to introduce the next generation of Building Professionals to the building codes. Instructors of high schools, colleges, or organizations may choose one (or multiple) of the following courses to facilitate: IRC Basics, IRC Essentials, IBC Basics, IBC Essentials.
The “Basics” are meant to be supplemental material taught by an experienced instructor, while the “Essentials” can be delivered standalone and require a less experienced instructor.
Instructors who have used this program in the past will notice valuable new additions to the TTP. “IRC Basics” is the course you’ve used in the past. You may choose to continue using the “IRC Basics” or add/switch to the new courses if you’d like.
Each course within the TTP gives you and your students access to a self-paced course through the code, exams, and certificates of completion for multiple disciplines. The four courses are:
IRC Basics: 2021 IRC, 2021 IRC Study Companion, Basic Code Enforcement, and Inspector Skills
IRC Essentials: 2021 IRC, 2021 IRC Essentials, Basic Code Enforcement, and Inspector Skills
