Approved CE Opportunities

continuing educationThe link below provides a current listing of BOC Approved Continuing Education (CE) opportunities. When you satisfactorily complete a BOC-approved CE course, the CE provider will report your participation directly to BOC to be counted toward your continuing education unit (CEU) requirements. As a practitioner, you are ultimately responsible for maintaining the accuracy of your CEU record. Be sure to keep a record of your successfully completed CE activities on file for the duration of each CE Cycle.

Please note: While BOC identifies approved educational courses under the BOC Approved CE Course Program, it is beyond the credentialing mission of BOC as an independent certifying body to provide, accredit or recommend specific educational or training courses or course providers. Approval or identification of approved CE courses does not constitute accreditation, recommendation, endorsement, or sponsorship of any such courses or course providers by BOC.

 

Alternative CE Opportunities

You are welcome to submit documentation toward earning CEUs for courses that have not been pre-approved by BOC. To apply, complete the Course Submission Form and submit it with the course provider, the date of the course, proof of attendance, proof of completion, and the number of CEUs for which you are applying as a result of completing the course (as detailed on the form).

You may also earn CEUs for attending relevant professional events, such as trade shows or industry conferences. By documenting visits to exhibitors, you may earn up to one CEU per every 4 exhibitors you vist. To apply, complete and submit the Exhibit Hall Submission Form.
