Training for Certification

Training for BOC certification is classroom based and offered in a course series format covering a full range of building systems topics. The Level I course series offers eight one-day classes held once a month for a total of 56 hours of training; the Level II series offers seven one-day classes for a total of 49 hours of training. Course series consist of classroom training, project assignments completed at the facility, and in-class exams administered at the end of each day of training.
