Held in conjunction with the 25th Building Professional Institute, the International Code Council’s Training & Certification Summit, May 22-26 at the University of Texas at Arlington, is offering unique educational tracks, continuing education units, and opportunities to take ICC certification exams all in one place.

“No matter what stage industry professionals are in their careers, there is something advantageous for everyone to learn at the ICC Summit,” explained Code Council Board of Directors President M. Dwayne Garriss. “Not only are we offering the technical training you have grown to trust from ICC, we also are bringing tracks on Leadership and Generations in the Workplace that will give attendees the tactical skills to enhance your offices and plans for the future.”

Summit attendees will earn CEUs from ICC for participating in any of the three-day training tracks that may be applied toward renewal of certifications issued by ICC. Summit tracks include:

Track 1: Leadership Institute. This institute provides an overview of leadership principles, the characteristics of effective leaders, and how to apply basic leadership skills.

Track 2: Principles of Building Safety Institute. This institute covers the unique concepts of building safety while addressing the principles and the science behind code provisions.

Track 3: Residential Building Inspector Certification Academy. This new academy provides information and the opportunity to study for and take the 2015 B1 Residential Building Inspector certification exam.

Track 4: Multigenerational Communications in the Workplace Institute. This institute explores how to create a mentoring program, discovers how to use practical communication and leadership strategies, and teaches how to solve workplace problems with others from different generations.
