How does one become a Certified Occupational Hearing Conservationist. What are the requirements for CAOHC recertification courses. Where can professionals find OHC certification and training programs. What is the scope of practice for Occupational Hearing Conservationists.
Understanding CAOHC and OHC Certification
The Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation (CAOHC) plays a crucial role in setting standards for hearing conservation professionals. At the heart of their mission is the certification of Occupational Hearing Conservationists (OHCs), who are integral to workplace hearing safety programs.
To become a Certified Occupational Hearing Conservationist (COHC), candidates must complete a rigorous process:
- Attend a CAOHC-approved 20-hour certification course
- Pass the accompanying exam
- Demonstrate competence in audiometric testing
Interestingly, there are no prerequisites for this course, making it accessible to a wide range of professionals interested in hearing conservation. The exam questions are based solely on the information presented during the course, ensuring a fair assessment of the knowledge gained.
The OHC Certification Process: Steps to Success
The path to becoming a COHC is straightforward but requires dedication and thorough preparation. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- Find a CAOHC-approved course using the OHC Course Search tool
- Register for the course through the Course Director
- Complete the 20-hour training program
- Take and pass the assessment-based certificate exam
- Receive OHC certification upon successful completion
It’s important to note that CAOHC does not manage registration for individual courses. Prospective students must contact the Course Director directly to enroll.
Course Availability and Formats
OHC certification courses are widely available across the United States, with some international options as well. To accommodate different learning preferences and schedules, courses are offered in various formats:
- In-Person: Traditional classroom setting
- Hybrid: Combination of online and in-person instruction
- Virtual: Fully online courses for remote learning
Registration fees vary by location and Course Director, allowing candidates to choose an option that best fits their budget and geographical constraints.
OHC Scope of Practice: Roles and Responsibilities
Certified Occupational Hearing Conservationists play a vital role in workplace hearing conservation programs. Their scope of practice includes:
- Administering audiometric tests
- Ensuring proper calibration and functioning of audiometric equipment
- Obtaining valid audiograms
- Educating workers about hearing protection and conservation
It’s crucial to understand that while COHCs are highly trained, they are not authorized to interpret audiograms, diagnose ear disorders, or refer patients for specialized care. These responsibilities fall under the purview of licensed audiologists, physicians, or otolaryngologists.
CAOHC Recertification: Maintaining Your OHC Credentials
CAOHC certification is not a one-time achievement. To ensure that COHCs stay current with the latest developments in hearing conservation, recertification is required. The recertification process involves:
- Completing a CAOHC-approved recertification course
- Passing the recertification exam
- Renewing certification before the expiration date
Recertification courses are typically shorter than the initial certification course but still cover essential updates and refresher material. These courses can be found using the same OHC Course Search tool, filtering for “Recertification” under course type.
Extension Options for OHC Certification
In some cases, COHCs may need an extension on their certification. CAOHC offers extension options under specific circumstances, such as:
- Temporary inability to attend a recertification course
- Unexpected delays in course availability
- Personal or professional emergencies
Extensions are granted on a case-by-case basis and require timely application to CAOHC.
Finding the Right OHC Course: Tips and Resources
Choosing the right OHC course is crucial for success in certification or recertification. CAOHC provides several tools to help prospective students find suitable courses:
- OHC Course Search tool on the CAOHC website
- Interactive map of course locations
- Detailed course listings with dates, formats, and director information
When searching for a course, consider the following factors:
- Location (including virtual options)
- Course dates and duration
- Format (in-person, hybrid, or virtual)
- Course director’s experience and reputation
- Cost and any additional fees
By carefully evaluating these aspects, candidates can select a course that best fits their learning style, schedule, and professional goals.
OHC Certification and OSHA Compliance
While OHC certification is not explicitly required by OSHA, it is highly regarded and can help employers meet OSHA’s Occupational Noise Exposure Standard (29 CFR 1910.95) requirements. This standard stipulates that hearing tests must be administered by qualified individuals, which includes:
- Licensed or certified audiologists

- Career advancement opportunities in occupational health and safety
- Increased credibility and professional recognition
- Potential for higher earning potential in specialized roles
- Contribution to overall public health by preventing occupational hearing loss
These long-term advantages make OHC certification an attractive option for professionals committed to workplace health and safety.
Navigating OHC Certification: Common Questions and Answers
Prospective OHC candidates often have questions about the certification process. Here are some frequently asked questions and their answers:

FAQ | CAOHC
Answers to most questions related to the OHC may be found in the OHC section of this website. Here are a few of the most common questions that are posed to the CAOHC staff members.
Q: Is OHC training required just to administer the hearing tests?
A: According to OSHA’s Occupational Noise Exposure Standard, 29 CFR 1910.95, hearing tests can only be administered by a licensed or certified audiologist, physician, a CAOHC certified Occupational Hearing Conservationist, or by a technician who has demonstrated competence in administering audiometric testing and who is responsible to an audiologist, otolaryngologist, or physician. Audiometric technicians are not allowed to interpret audiograms, diagnose ear disorders, or refer to specialized care.
While certification is not mandatory, it does provide proof that a technician has met a high standard of training (minimum 20 hours of instruction), taken and passed a national standardized examination leading to certification, and demonstrated competence in administering audiometric examinations, obtaining valid audiograms, and properly using, maintaining and checking calibration and proper functioning of the audiometers being used.
Q: Is specific training required to oversee a Hearing Conservation program?
A: OSHA’s Noise standard paragraphs 1910.95(g)(3), (g)(7)(iii), and (g)(9), outline the requirements that professionals, specifically audiologists, otolaryngologists, or other physicians must oversee the audiometric testing program. The Professional Supervisor of the Audiometric Monitoring Program© (PS) Course was created by CAOHC to clarify the PS responsibilities as stated in the federal regulation. Additionally, the CAOHC Hearing Conservation Manager course was specifically created to prepare attendees to effectively manage a hearing conservation program utilizing seven elements of an effective hearing conservation program and to navigate regulatory compliance.
Please refer to the Professional Supervisor and Hearing Conservation Manager training sections of the CAOHC website for additional information.
Q: If I leave my current employer, does my Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation (CAOHC) Certified Occupational Hearing Conservationist (COHC) certification become my employer’s property?
A: No, the COHC certification is awarded to the individual who successfully completes all the requirements for the credential. Even if an employer pays for the course and certification, the certification is awarded to the individual and only that individual can use the credential to perform audiometric tests and other responsibilities in the hearing conservation program. Other technicians, supervisors or the employer cannot use or share the COHC certification number. If you have concerns, contact the Professional Supervisor (PS) who is the licensed physician or audiologist providing oversight of your hearing conservation program (HCP).
Q: Who is responsible for remembering the expiration date of the certification?
A: You are responsible for maintaining your certification since the CAOHC number is yours and not your employer’s. You will receive a 6-month and a 1-year recertification notification from CAOHC to the email you have on record with us. Please let us know if your email changes.
Q: Does CAOHC offer any extension on certification expiration?
A: All extension requests must be received by the CAOHC administrative office at least 30 days before expiration of the certification, subject to approval by CAOHC. This exception is intended for COHCs having difficulty locating a course in a specific geographic area, serious illness or other extenuating circumstances. To request an extension, go to the My CAOHC Account link on our home page.
Q: How long is my COHC certification valid?
A: The COHC certification expiration date is set for 5 years from the date you complete the course, not the exam.
Q: How can I get a copy of my certificate or find my CAOHC certificate number and expiration date?
A: You can get a copy of your certificate by going to the My CAOHC Account link on our home page. Once you log in, under the OHC Heading, look for Certificate. You can click here to get an instant copy of your certificate.
Q: Do I need a license as an audiometric technician in my state?
A: Licensing requirements are determined by the state. Some state government agencies may claim jurisdiction over your actions as a COHC. For example, Oregon and Washington Departments of Labor require CAOHC certification for OHCs, while the Department of Health in Texas requires registration of all audiometric technicians, including COHCs.
Your state audiology licensure board may require audiologists to register COHCs as an audiology aide. Likewise, COHCs operating under the supervision of a physician are typically subject to a state’s medical practice laws. To find out about your state’s license requirements, contact your hearing conservation program manager or your professional supervisor (audiologist or physician).
Q: Is there an exam for the OHC course?
A: For both the 20-hour certification course and the 8-hour recertification course, it is required that participants pass a national standardized written exam in addition to practical examinations on audiometric testing and hearing protection fitting given during the course.
Course curriculum
The national standardized written exam is intended to address the following objectives:
1. Evaluate the level of knowledge obtained through the classroom experience.
2. Determine whether the student has gained sufficient knowledge to work as a COHC.
3. Reinforce course content and provide additional learning opportunities.
4. Standardize the student’s course experience and enhance the credibility and value of the COHC credential.
Q: How do I know if the course I am attending is CAOHC-approved?
A: All CAOHC courses listed on this website have been approved by CAOHC. Additionally, CAOHC issues a certificate of course approval to the course director, which should be displayed at your course. If you do not see this certificate, ask for it.
Q: How do I get Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for taking this CAOHC course?
A: If course directors wish to offer continuing education credits for their COHC courses, they are individually responsible for submitting all applications to the continuing education board for the association granting the continuing education credits, i. e. the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses, the American Academy of Audiology, the American Speech-Language Hearing Association, etc. CAOHC does not provide this service or approve courses for CEUs. Participants will need to contact their instructor directly to see if their course is approved for CEUs.
Q: How do I find and register for a CAOHC course in my area? What does it cost?
A: CAOHC-approved courses are listed on this website. To find a course, visit the OHC Course Search Listings section. Contact the course director to register and obtain cost details, which will vary by course depending on instructor and location.
Q: I was certified as a Hearing Tech through the DoD, my job currently requires a COHC certification, do I have to take full certification course with CAOHC?
A: If you took a DOEHRS class that was approved by CAOHC and were awarded the DOEHRS certificate, it means that you successfully completed the practicum portion of the CAOHC course. You will need to take and pass the CAOHC standardized exam to earn the COHC certification. You will need to pay the CAOHC examination fee.
Q: What is the difference between a Professional Supervisor of the Audiometric Monitoring Program (PS) and a supervisor/manager of the hearing conservation program?
A: According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hearing Conservation Amendment 29 CFR 1910.95(g)(3), the audiologist, otolaryngologist, or physician overseeing the audiometric monitoring program is the Professional Supervisor. The PS ensures that audiograms for monitoring noise-exposed workers are correctly administered and interpreted and trains and advises the COHC. Please refer to the Scope of Practice: The Professional Supervisor of the Audiometric Monitoring Program for more information.
Conversely, a supervisor/manager of an HCP is typically a safety professional, human resources administrator or other management-level company personnel. This supervisor/manager is responsible for the HCP’s overall management and effectiveness and may also directly supervise the COHC.

Mentor coaching for self-development and certification
The value of mentoring in co chinge
When you’re wondering what’s next in coaching, try thinking of yourself as the best coaching tool. A good tool should always be in good condition, oiled, sharpened, repaired.
One of the options for pursuing a career in coaching, and perhaps the most reliable way for a coach to remain a “working tool” is mentoring. Why is mentoring in demand? What is its value? Who is a good mentor in coaching?
Why mentor coaching is in demand
The ICF is currently the only coaching association that requires coaches to work with a mentor and links this need to international qualifications. Behind the ICF requirement is a concern for professional standards in coaching and how coaches present themselves in the session.
Coaching is a profession in which a specialist does not have the opportunity to constantly receive feedback from colleagues, management, subordinates. Some coaches may think that client feedback is enough to improve their competencies, their behavior. But remember how your customers rate you? They reason in terms of whether they have solved their problems, whether they feel that their life is better than before, whether they are closer to understanding who they really are. Such reviews are not very informative if the coach has the goal of obtaining an international qualification or improving his skills in general. Only seeing someone who knows what an ACC coach, PCC coach, and MCC coach looks and sounds like in a session will provide the kind of feedback that will allow the coaching professional to deepen, facilitate meetings, and help clients achieve their coaching goals faster.
Thus, mentor coaching is in demand not only for those coaches who aspire to receive or confirm ICF accreditation, it is also necessary for professional development throughout the life of a coach, at every stage of a career path.
In the Russian coaching market, the demand for mentoring services still exceeds supply. On the one hand, this is due to the increased value of certification, on the other hand, coaches began to think more about their professionalism, about their usefulness to clients, coaches began to turn to mentors more often if they experience problems in sessions. Therefore, when you receive a certificate of a professional mentor, you immediately become a specialist whose services clients “stand in line”.
What is the value of mentoring in coaching
The study of mentoring in coaching involves a detailed mastery of the behavioral markers of each coaching competence, the ability to analyze the coachee’s session based on these markers and the ability to give such feedback that will stimulate the partner’s further growth.
Mentoring brings coaches back to the conscious use of competencies. Of course, it is unconscious competence that many coaches strive for in the profession, since this is tantamount to mastery – when you intuitively do everything right. But if the coach initially considers himself a master with nothing to learn, he can slide into unconscious incompetence. To prevent this from happening, mentoring sheds light on the blind, deaf, and dark spots of coaching practice.
Blind spots are things that we cannot see in ourselves, or may have chosen not to see in ourselves. Blank spots are something we don’t hear from ourselves or from our clients. Dark places are things we don’t talk about out loud, whether it’s our intuition, a challenge, or direct client feedback. The mentor coach hears, sees and feels all these “spots” while watching the client’s coaching session and is able to offer solutions from his own experience to help the mentee. This is another powerful advantage of mentoring – it is more free than coaching. Any coach at least once in their life has been in such a situation during a session when they felt that if they offer a solution to the client (based on their own or someone else’s experience), then the client can make significant progress. By remaining in a neutral and impartial position as a coach, you have probably kept silent. Mentoring can untie your hands. This does not mean that you will only give advice, but it does mean that the experience of your mentee and your own will be combined, resulting in unique ideas and solutions for the development of your student.
The role of a mentor for whom?
Mentoring for those who are interested in the development of another person. The role of a mentor for those who want to develop themselves through the development of other people. Mentor coaching sessions have tremendous potential for both the mentee and the mentor.
Here is what the graduates of Global Coaching International University say about the results of training in mentor coaching:
Lyudmila Stelmakh, PCC ICF : “Training in mentoring in coaching allowed me to rise to a very high professional level. I became a level above myself. The professional that I was in coaching before the profession of mentoring, and the professional coach that I became after training in mentoring in coaching and practice, is heaven and earth. When I, as a mentor, share knowledge, pass it on to the mentee, enriching it, I become better professionally, I develop coaching skills – non-judgmental, openness and the ability to reveal the resources of the interlocutor.”
Veronika Vodokhlebova, PCC ICF : “Studying on the CCE (ICF) program “Mentoring (coach as a mentor)” helped me set development goals, plan my growth and successfully pass the certification for the ICF PCC qualification. I have learned to hear my coaching competencies in session and see how I apply them. I was able to analyze and understand what I do and what I don’t do in each session. The new level of awareness of competencies brought about a natural change in the coaching sessions, which allowed me to conduct more useful sessions for clients.
Through this course, I grew into a PCC coach not on paper, but into a PCC approach to working with clients. I have become more aware of myself. Mentoring training provided a glimpse into stories such as the development of the inner mentor, familiarity with internal limitations and habits that pass from our ordinary life into coaching. ”
We invite you to become a professional mentor for coaches, expand your client base and increase income by increasing your effectiveness as a coach. Pre-register for the Mentoring (coach as a mentor) CCE ICF program.
