Position Your Program for Success in 2016
The time is right to plan for more stringent provider requirements. BOC Approved
Providers will be required to meet a new set of standards for their continuing education
(CE) programs effective January 1, 2016. Action is required for your organization to
maintain its BOC Approved Provider status.
The new standards require BOC Approved Providers to enhance aspects of
administration, business practices, content, development and instruction, assessment,
and review and evaluation – all to advance the BOC mission of assuring protection of the
public.
We at the BOC recommend familiarizing yourself with the 2016 Standards sooner
rather than later, in order to seamlessly maintain your BOC Approved Provider status.
Depending on your program, dedicated time and attention to your program may be
required to remain compliant.
The BOC wants to help you successfully enhance your program to comply with the new
requirements. That’s why our website now offers more resources and examples to help
you reach the next level.
Please take time to review the 2016 Standards, available on the BOC website and in
the Spring edition of the AP Update. Additional details about the new requirements,
applications and renewal processes will be shared with current BOC Approved
Providers in early 2015.
