Ocean County College has received approval from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to offer these required courses. Students who successfully complete a course and have applied for licensing to become an inspector, or presently hold an inspector's license from DCA, can receive up to a 75% tuition refund. For licensing requirements, please call the DCA at
609.984.7834, or visit their website at www.nj.gov/dca/codes/licensingunit.


Technical Licenses are issued in the areas of building, fire protection, electrical and technical assistant certification. Licenses are issued in specialties: Residential and Small Commercial (RCS), Industrial and Commercial (ICS) and High Rise/Hazardous (HHS). RCS, ICS and HHS must be taken in the appropriate sequence.
