Certification Information

MBOA has successfully developed a Certification & Certification Maintenance Program for its members. The certification program requires members to complete a number of Building Code courses. MBOA has three levels (Housing: Part Nine Buildings: Part Three Buildings) of certification that a member can obtain. Courses for each levels have been identified.

Becoming MBOA certified is a significant professional accomplishment. Codes protect the public by regulating safe construction. Certification demonstrates a firm commitment to that public, and to code enforcement profession, by confirming and recognizing knowledgeable proficiency in the areas of management, technology and law as they relate to construction codes administration.

Members in good standing with MBOA are encouraged to continue to develop the professional knowledge and skills through a series of Association recognized official courses. A member may pursue certification through one of two designations.

• Certified Building Code Official (CBCO)
• Building Code Qualified (BCQ)

Each designation consists of three levels of achievement. Each certificate level reflects the type of construction and buildings that an individual is certified and/or qualified to inspect or design.
