Section 606:  Obtaining BCA Certification 

Licensed engineers and architects, and facilities professionals who can show sufficient experience working with buildings are eligible to become BCA Certified. School facilities professionals may be eligible for certification, but cannot perform certified BCA’s within their own district, only outside their district. They may, however, conduct district-level BCA’s within their district.

Certification requires:  

  • Attendance and completion of an in-person BCA Certification training, conducted by OSPI School Facilities and Organization staff. Contact your OSPI Regional Coordinator for more information on when the next training might be available.  
  • An Education Data System (EDS) account (See Chapter 1: Inventory and Condition of Schools (ICOS); Section 102: Setup and Access) 
  • Submission to OSPI of engineer or architect license number, or a professional resume showing the individual has sufficient experience working with buildings.
