Dennis Thomas Earns Master Code Professional Certification
From International Code Council
Park City, Utah – February 4, 2010

Dennis Thomas, Building Inspector for Park City Municipal Corporation, has earned Master Code Professional Certification from the International Code Council. 

Jeff Whitney, International Code Council (ICC) Board member and Grand County Building Official presented Thomas with the Certification in a ceremony at City Hall on February 4. “Thomas is one of eight building inspectors in the state of Utah to earn this coveted status,” Whitney said. In addition to the 26 other certifications required for master code certification, he is the only inspector of the eight to have earned his Fire Marshal Certification as well.

Wow, I can't believe how long ago this was but it was definitely a high-lite in my career.  The number of hours that you put in to pass the exams is unbelievable. 

The International Code Council's Master Code Professional (MCP) designation is the "gold standard" for demonstrating proficiency in the code profession. By becoming a Master Code Professional, the highest level of certification in the Code Council's program, you can increase earnings and advance your career. The Council has certified thousands of individuals, but only a select number have attained this high-level of achievement. To obtain this level of certification requires and demonstrates commitment to the profession, diverse knowledge of codes and a high-level of self-initiative.


To become an ICC Master Code Professional, a candidate must first earn eight core ICC certifications plus an additional number of elective ICC certifications. Typical Master Code Professionals hold 17 or more ICC certifications. To become Master Code Professional, certified individuals must complete an additional 45 hours of Continuing Education Units every three years to maintain active status. Master Code Professionals are typically responsible for all technical and management aspects of code enforcement with duties that range from the management of a code enforcement department to the supervision of inspectors and plan reviewers.

I'm honored to be a part of this select group and commend those who continue their quest of knowledge and education to protect the safety and life of our citizens.
