Full certification programs result in digital certificates with an option of a mailed hard copy – upon completing all requirements.
In addition many programs also come with digital badges upon completion.
Will I automatically earn the BCC?
While many of our programs are BCC-Approved, they will not result in obtaining a BCC.

Does BlueRio charge an annual or renewal fee?
As of June 2022, BlueRio does NOT charge a renewal or recertification fee. All graduates are expected to abide by the code of ethics they signed.
