General Information
The ASME QFO Boiler Operator Certification program is the latest addition to ASME Codes and Standard's portfolio of internationally renown Boiler and Pressure Vessel programs.  This program provides the means for qualification and certification of the knowledge of operators of oil, gas, and coal fired boilers with heat input greater than 10,000,000 Btu/hr.

ASME QFO Certification is based on three components: education, experience and passing a computer based examination.  It is not a licensing program but rather a national certification program. Operators can move from place to place and continue to be recognized under this program. There is no state affilliation.

Benefits
The benefits of QFO Certification involve the health and safety of plant operators and staff, and therefore the safety of the entire facility.  It concerns the proper control of emissions from your facility which in turn effects the safety of your community.  The advantage of this certification is that you are protecting your employees and your community by assuring that your operators and your staff have knowledge of how to properly operate your equipment, specifically with respect to emissions control.

• from the operator standpoint, it is a thorough examination which upon passing the exam, will provide a level of confidence in their own capability as well as job satisfaction beyond what traditional license exams would do.
• from an employer standpoint, it reassures facility management that their staff is trained properly with safety and emissions guidelines.
• a committment to having operators prepare for ASME QFO Certification assures the surrounding community and employees that management is concerned for their safety and well-being.
