Thinking of Obtaining Your Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Qualifications?

If you are contemplating obtaining your Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Qualifications? I recommend that you first study and ultimately write your Legal Qualifications Examination. There are four Legal Qualifications categories:

· Designer Legal (strictly for design professionals)

· General Legal (for building officials)

· Chief Building Official (for chief building officials or building officials)

· Registered Code Agency (strictly for registered code agencies or those employed by a registered code agency)

Orderline has study materials available to assist you in preparing to write this examination. One of those study materials is shown here. The reason that I recommend that you study and write this examination first is because through the study process you will learn about the complete qualification program. Furthermore, in order to be qualified in any of the technical categories, one must successfully complete one of the four Legal Qualifications that coincide with your profession.
