Avista is offering discounts on a nationally recognized training program that can help your business save money and energy. Building Operator Certification (BOC®) focuses on helping maintenance supervisors, building engineers and others in the trades, build their careers and expand their skills in commercial building operation. By putting new tools in the hands of the experts, building operations certification training harnesses the most powerful resource most businesses have for improving efficiency: their employees.
The courses take place over several months’ time and involve 1-2 working days per session. Each session focuses on a specific topic, such as preventative maintenance and optimizing controls systems. These courses require participants to be away from their regular jobs for a total of approximately eight working days. We understand this is a significant commitment, but strongly believe the returns outweigh the investment.
Participants learn skills that take their abilities to the next level. Competency is demonstrated through project work involving their own buildings and equipment. They focus on low-cost and no-cost solutions that won’t compromise comfort. The result is well-equipped buildings and maintenance staff that have identified (and will be more successful at identifying) ways to help your business save money and energy.
If you prefer in-person learning, a course series will begin in Spokane’s University District in January 2025. If virtual learning is more your style, virtual courses are offered throughout the year.
