The continuing education of building operators improves their ability
to cope with changing technologies, equipment, and practices. To
remain certified, a building operator must accumulate re-certification
hours. Five (5) hours per year are required for Level I, and 10
hours per year for Level II. Renewal notices are issued annually
in January for re-certification. Check local BOC sites for certification
renewal fees.
