Annual training classes are offered in February, May, October. Once all required examinations, certifications and training have been obtained or completed, OBCS will issue each certified Peer Reviewer a designation number. This number shall be included on the drawings and will be used in conjunction with the Expedited Building Plan Review Program tracking system. OBCS may reinstate a Peer Reviewer upon a determination that the reason for revocation has been remedied to the satisfaction of OBCS and upon a determination that the Peer Reviewer meets the minimum requirements for certification. The exams are taken at Sylvan Technology Centers nationwide with local centers located in Bethesda, Arlington, and the District.
Exam results are available at the completion of the exam.
Appointments must be made at least 48 hours prior to taking the exam. See below for a list of the required examinations for specific certifications. Every Certified Peer Reviewer must attend annual training to maintain his or her certification. Click here for directions to the Herrity Building. If completed, these classes are worth 0.2 CEUs.
