Attention OACETT members, we were informed by Humber Polytechnic: Education and Training Solutions that there is a delay in the Ontario Building Code (OBC) project that has resulted in a temporary modification to the examination delivery format. As a mitigation strategy, they will be transitioning to in-person, paper-based examinations from August 5 to September 12, 2025.

This change has been communicated to the Ministry, and they are supportive of the approach. In addition, Humber's website has been updated to reflect this temporary adjustment to ensure transparency and clarity for all candidates.

Please be assured that they remain fully committed to maintaining a high standard of professionalism and service throughout this transition period. Their team is dedicated to ensuring a smooth and seamless experience for all examinees.

Key details for this temporary period:

• All OBC examinations will be conducted in-person and on paper from August 5 to September 12, 2025.

• Candidates will continue to have access to the Building Code Compendium (Volumes 1 and 2) in PDF format for reference.

• However, they strongly recommend that candidates bring a hard copy of the Compendium to their scheduled examination, in case of any technical difficulties accessing the PDF version.
