Overview

The Office of Education and Data Management (OEDM) administers all aspects of the credentialing exams for the Office of the State Building Inspector, including the tests for the Pre-Licensure Training Programs and the licensure exam modules offered on a monthly basis.

Once your application for licensure candidacy is approved, a scheduling email will be sent if you selected the direct Exam route as your preferred means of completing the requirements for your desired license. You must bring a copy of your confirmation email and photo ID to be admitted into the exam. If your application is denied, you will be notified by email of the decision.
