When Does OQ Training Expire?


All of the Operator Qualification courses offered by OPS are valid for three (3) years. We retain all records in an online Operator Qualification Database (OQDB) and give each operator a physical copy for records / inspections. Our online system tracks renewal dates and operators will be reminded in advance of expiring OQ qualifications.
