About this course

Independent GCHS training

Each lesson has a dimensioned diagram, a glossary, 14 practice questions (20 in Lesson 16) and neural narration. Numbers were checked against the text of the 2021 IBC. Texas cities adopt their own editions and amendments (the City of Houston enforces codes based on the 2021 editions), so local adoption governs. This is training, not a substitute for the adopted code.
