Most of our training programs have been granted CEU’s from the Environmental Operators Certification Program (EOCP). Information on available CEU’s are noted in the Course Catalogue.
CEU’s are available retroactively, so if you have taken one of these courses and would like to submit them for credits, please contact us for the form.
Participants are provided with an EOCP Evaluation form at the training session. For those who are EOCP-certified, please note that it is the responsibility of your organization, or the individual EOCP member, to forward a copy of the form to EOCP to ensure the appropriate Continuing Education Units are credited to his/her name, and to pay any associated fees levied by the EOCP. The BC Municipal Safety Association will not provide this information or payment on their behalf.
Offered in partnership with Langara College, the Supervisor Safety Certificate Program is integrated into the Recreation Studies curriculum (includes both the Diploma and Degree Program) and provides students with foundational training in occupational health and safety from a supervisor’s perspective.
This program is designed to prepare future recreation professionals for leadership roles in the municipal sector by covering key topics such as incident investigation, worksite inspections, due diligence, and hazard assessment. Upon completion, students will receive a certificate from the BCMSA, recognizing their achievement and commitment to workplace safety.
