These classes will be offered online, with live video conferencing software that will allow for students and instructors to interact just as they would in the classroom. The motivation behind this model is to make the program accessible for those who may have difficulty getting the necessary time approved off or for those who are further away from the training location in Hazard, Kentucky.

In order to earn the Certified Building Operator credential, graduates will need to register for a third-party exam. Registration for this exam will be available throughout the duration of the training series and the exam will be scheduled individually once the training series is completed.
