Building Operator Certification California – Energy Efficiency Through Operator Training

 

 

 

Maintaining Certification

Continuing education following completion of BOC certification improves the ability of operators to cope with changing building equipment, technologies, and practices.

To remain certified, BOC graduates must accumulate re-certification hours. Five (5) hours per year are required for Level I, and 10 hours per year for Level II. Visit the national BOC web site for more information on qualifying activities for BOC re-certification hours.

The BOC program allows graduates to earn continuing education hours for attendance of independently-offered and in-house training classes relevant to their profession. It is not necessary for operators to attend classes offered through the BOC program to earn continuing education hours.

In California, BOC renewal notices are issued to graduates annually in January for re-certification. The renewal application is due in March of each year. The fee for renewal is $45 which includes a new wallet card and a processing fee.

Where To Find Continuing Education Classes

Continuing education classes for facilities professionals in California are offered throughout the year by the BOC-sponsoring utilities at their energy training centers. BOC graduates can attend these classes to earn re-certification hours towards BOC renewal. Click on the locations below to find continuing education class schedules in your area.
