This unique course provides invaluable preparation for the Construction Supervisors Licensing Exam. It covers the new 7th Edition Massachusetts Residentail Building Code and is also an excellent code review for those already licensed.

Those pursuing the Restricted License will require just the new 7th Edition Code for 1 & 2 Family Dwellings. The Unrestricted License Exam will be based on content from the 6th and 7th Editions, and students pursuing that license will need BOTH code books for the class and the exam. Books can be ordered when signing up for the class and are distributed in the first class.

Unrestricted License: Valid for work on any building, up to 35,000 cubic feet of space.
