| Code Council's New Professional Development Council Discusses Preferred Provider Program and ICC Training The Professional Development Council (PDC) met and reviewed the Preferred Provider Program (PPP) and the draft program manual recommended by the Preferred Provider Stakeholder Group. The PPP Stakeholder Group is comprised of representatives of ICC Chapters, associations, educators and industry from across the country. The program will provide additional opportunities for learning and increase ICC Members' and customers' access to Continuing Education Units for renewal of ICC Certifications. ICC Staff will approve providers and courses to ensure training quality. For providers, the PPP will connect them to ICC Members to create a vast network of educational opportunities as well as allow participation in the ICC Chapter Education Benefit program. Courses and providers will only need to register once, and providers will need to renew annually. The Reasonable provider fees will vary depending on the category of the educator and the mode of training, such as onsite or online. The fees will be finalized and announced soon. Additional information and details about the Preferred Provider Program will be available in October. Training events conducted prior to implementation of the program will be recognized for ICC CEUs for certifications renewed in 2015, if the education provider becomes an ICC Preferred Provider prior to January 1, 2015. ICC also has been working to enhance its training program by providing the best training on ICC's core codes, providing more online training that will be available affordably and 24/7, and increasing the flexibility of the Hire ICC to Teach training program. The new Professional Development Council was created to foster conversation between ICC's education and certification committees. Though the programs must maintain a degree of independence due to certification exam requirements and exam security issues, the programs need to build more synergy to provide the best value to ICC Members and customers. |
