The Lowcountry’s Home for Building Code Education
Whether you are studying for your first ICC exam, sharpening your skills, or looking for the tools that working inspectors actually use — Live Oak Academy was built for you. Instructor-developed. Field-tested. Built on integrity.
Teaching Code the Right Way
At Live Oak Academy, we believe that mastering the building code is not about memorizing answers — it is about learning to think like an inspector. Every course, every study tool, and every resource we create is designed around real code application, built for working professionals who need to pass their exam and do the job right.
The code is not a barrier. It is the foundation. And when you understand it the way we teach it — from the ground up, with context and clarity — you do not just pass a test. You become the kind of code professional that jurisdictions, contractors, and communities can count on.
“We are not just preparing inspectors for an exam. We are raising the standard of the profession.”
Live Oak Academy is an ICC Preferred Provider. Every program we offer is developed in alignment with ICC exam objectives and designed to meet the demands of today’s building environment.
