Love the way your training is laid out!

Just would like to say that I have been in the fire service for over 35 years and retired Fire Marshal. I've taken millions of exams and had to study for all of them of course but this program of yours is the absolute best! I love the way it is laid out and how easy it is to review the material after taking the exam. It helps so much initially for those that may not be familiar with the subject material the way you point out chapters and page numbers. It's very encouraging for the student. The bad thing about taking ICC exams is you don't always know or remember what you missed so you don't know exactly what to prepare for or how. Thank you so much for putting so much effort into your program. It's so obvious that you want your clients to be successful; after all, isn't that what it all about?

Passed GR, onto Special Inspection Courses

I want to take this time to send out my true gratitude to you and your team for taking the time. I took the GR yesterday and passed it, seemed I knew every answer. I wish there was a way to know how good I did, we know the number when we fail, sometimes it's just as powerful when we pass. The most important thing is I did pass and not all on my own so again thank you very much. I purchased the entire Special Inspector courses. I'm 52 and decided to become a Special Inspector and can't wait to become part of the process and the incredible responsibilities that comes with that.

Passed GR After Your Update!

I just want to let you know, after your update I just passed the GR!! Thank you! If people study your course and do a little extra skimming around the book for info, they will pass for sure. I just studied the course over the night and passed the exam this morning.

I am really liking your prep modules and how well prepared I have been for the S1C and the GR exams. I just have to get thru the S1P exam now and then I can move on to other certs. Thanks y'all for the knowledge!

Career Tip

As of December of 2017, this certification is now required before one can be fully certified in any of the other ICC Special Inspection certifications. If you had at least one ICC Special Inspection certification prior to December of 2017, you are grandfathered in and do not need to take this test!
