CCO and the NCCCO Foundation recently entered into a formal agreement with the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) through the OSHA Alliance Program. The aim of this alliance is to keep the industry informed of OSHA’s applicable safety-related initiatives.

Effective January 1, 2024, paper/pencil testing (PPT) will no longer be a standard option for taking CCO written exams.

CCO now has three options for taking written exams: Online Proctored Testing (OPT), Test Center Testing (TCT), and Event Online Testing (EOT).

The 55th Biannual CCO Commissioners Meeting was held on October 20, 2023, at the IUOE International Training and Education Center in Crosby, Texas, a suburb of Houston.

CCO is updating its practical exam administration process leveraging the latest technology.

As a result of guidance received during ANAB’s annual surveillance, CCO has updated its Code of Ethics to meet ANAB requirements for the agreement between CCO and candidates/certificants more closely.

The ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) Personnel Certification Accreditation Committee has voted to grant CCO continued accreditation for 2023–2024.

CCO is thrilled to add candidate photos to myCCO and the Verify CCO Online (VCO) system. This new feature will allow candidates to manage their own photos and allow employers to have a higher level of certainty when verifying certification.

CCO is excited to announce a recent update to the myCCO mobile app for iPhones and Android.
