OBOA is an approved International Code Council (ICC) Preferred Provider. The Preferred Provider Program recognizes and promotes ICC-approved educational offerings as they relate to codes, standards and guidelines, as well as building construction materials, products and methods. ICC certificate holders may obtain ICC CEUs from Preferred Providers that can be applied toward the renewal requirements of ICC’s certification program.

All OBOA educational programs (trainings, QBMs, classes/sessions; all courses) are approved courses through the International Code Council (ICC) Preferred Provider Program (PPP).
