BOAF Online Training and Resource Center

Welcome to the BOAF Online Training and Resource Center, the online place for up to date training and the best resources for those working in the building industry.  Our online courses provide you with current training in required coursework for recertification as well as other topics of interest to Building Officials, Inspectors and Plans Examiners - and others in the construction industry.

Our online course are NOT canned PowerPoint slides or pre-recorded classroom sessions.  Instead, we have built engaging and interactive courses that provide current information and insights through text, video and audio.  Quizzes check for understanding and a final online exam ensures that learning has occurred.

  • About Cookies...

    Beginning on May 25, 2018, the European Union began enforcing their General Data Protection Regulation on websites, including sites outside the EU that could be accessed from inside the EU.  That, of course, includes sites in the United States.  In short, it requires users to be warned that a site is using "cookies" and to allow the user a choice when it comes to "cookies."  The BOAF training site DOES use cookies, and the warning automatically appears when you log in.

    So what is a "cookie?"  Websites can store information that is personal to you in an effort to make your experience on the site better.  For example on the BOAF training site, we automatically store the location of where you left off so that when you return to the class, you can start back where you previously stopped.  That is a "cookie" storing that information.  It also marks your records to show what you have completed and what you need to complete - necessary to track your progress through each course.  So, these are "good cookies" to help your experience in our courses to work better for you.

    There are "bad cookies."  Ever notice that if you are looking at a retail website - say, looking at toasters in Amazon - and when you go to another site with third-party ads on them, you suddenly see toasters in the advertisements?  These are cookies, tracking you and your preferences.  We do not use these kinds of cookies - and we do not sell or share your browsing information in any way.  

    So you will see that the cookies that we use in BOAF online training are meant to help you - not spy on you!!  So when you see the warning pop up and you accept the use of cookies in our training site, you are safe!
