Description
The 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) Exam Prep Course is designed to prepare you for the national exam. Its primary focus is on the code itself—finding specific information within it and improving your ability to find information that you need not only for the examination but for work in the field. The time that you spend working directly with the code will help you to apply it more effectively in daily practice and avoid issues that may arise when dealing with work that is not up to code.
This course provides a close survey of the 2021 cycle of the Uniform Plumbing Code, insights, and practice quizzes following each Chapter’s lesson. There is also a cumulative practice exam. All questions included in the lesson quizzes and practice exam provide correct answers and explanations and/or locations where you can find more information on a topic within the code.
