Exam Scheduling
To become an eligible exam candidate, you must submit your application (including all required documentation) to BOC by the 15th of the month prior to your desired examination period. Applications received after this date will be subject to approval and a $100 late fee. For more information, review our certification programs.
The examination schedule lists the four exam periods offered by BOC throughout the year, as well as their corresponding application deadlines.
