Continue Your Professional Growth With Continuing Education

We provide great flexibility in the way you earn your continuing education units (CEUs). Instead of requiring CEUs annually, our continuing education requirements are set up on a five-year cycle. As a result, some of our certificants earn all their CEUs in a single year. However, if you are unable to take time away from your professional commitments and must postpone earning CEUs, you can relax knowing that you don’t have to rush to complete your requirements.

BOC certificants demonstrate their ongoing commitment to professionalism through annual renewal. To renew and maintain certification, you must meet BOC’s renewal requirements and adhere to the ethical and professional guidelines of the BOC Code of Ethics and comply with all applicable BOC policies. For more information, please visit the certification renewal page.
