A study aid
Our diagnostics, practice material, guides and calculators are study aids only. They are not engineering approval or a substitute for project-specific professional judgment and applicable codes. Use your own licensed copy of any referenced code.
Our practice questions are original and written to the published content outline. Every answer key passes an independent check. Questions an expert reviewer has signed off are marked as reviewed, and reported errors are fixed within 2 business days. We never use real or recalled exam questions or reproduce code-book text.
Rafter Tie is not affiliated with or endorsed by International Code Council. Exam names describe the exams our material helps you study for. We do not guarantee that you will pass an exam.
Buying a course
Courses are a one-time payment through Stripe checkout. Your course opens as soon as checkout completes, and your receipt email has the link to it.
Refunds
Full refund within 14 days of buying, for any reason, unless you have finished both timed practice exams for any course in your order. One refund per customer. Contact us with your order email and we refund the full amount to your original payment method.
Access length
Paid plans are a one-time payment with lifetime access. Lifetime access means for as long as Rafter Tie offers the course, and in any case at least 3 years from the day your course opens. Updates are included while you have access, including a move to a newer code edition if the exam body changes the edition its exam uses.
