The BOC Continuing Education (CE) Course Approval Program is a powerful tool for CE course providers in marketing and promoting their programs. Courses approved by BOC are included in our directory of available courses for our certificants’ convenience, and providers are entitled to market approved courses as "BOC Approved."

While BOC accepts non-approved credits from our certificants, approved courses offer our certificants the benefit of having all course information directly communicated to BOC by course providers. Non-approved course credit requires certificants to submit their own documentation to BOC.

To register your course(s) in the BOC Approved CE Course Program

If you have previously registered courses in the Program this year, and are registering additional courses – complete step 3 only.

1. Review the BOC Approved CE Course Program to find out about our requirements for course providers.

2. Complete the BOC Approved CE Course Application and Agreement Form and submit the form along with the application processing fee (for new providers only).

3. Complete the BOC Approved CE Course Registration Form for each course you wish to register. (If you are registering more than 1 course, you may provide the total payment on one form.)

Please note:While BOC identifies eligible CE opportunities to our certificants, BOC does not provide, sponsor, accredit, endorse or recommend educational or training activities or programs, nor does BOC require certificants to earn CEUs by attending courses registered in the BOC Approved CE Course Program.

*Non Profit organizations are exempt from all fees and must submit a Determination Letter.
