Spring 2025 LCFS Verifier Accreditation Training

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) will hold LCFS verifier accreditation in-person training faciltated by GHGMI.

Details: April 14-18, 2025, in Sacramento, CA and April 28-May 2, 2025 in the Los Angeles area, CA.

More information is available on the LCFS Verification website: https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/lcfs-verification

Application Information

Candidates for lead verifier applying under section 95502(c)(3)(A)-(E) of the LCFS Regulation may opt out of Course 1 and are not required to take the general verification accreditation exam pursuant to LCFS Regulation section 95502(c)(3)(G). However, Course 1 is highly recommended because it provides essential information about LCFS verification principles. Applicants who do not currently meet the requirements for lead verifier should consider taking all six courses so that they can be accredited as a verifier and upgrade to lead verifier as soon as the experience requirements have been met.

Verification bodies must email an Application for Verification Body Accreditation to CARB and include employees’ Applications for Individual Verifier Accreditation in the package; including potential subcontractors in verification body packages is helpful for efficient screening by CARB. Verification bodies may choose to submit the templates required in section 95501(b)(1)(B) of the LCFS Regulation after verifier accreditation training, to finalize their accreditation package. Individuals planning to provide LCFS verification services who are not affiliated with a current verification body or verification body applicant must submit individual accreditation applications to CARB via email at lcfsverify@arb.ca.gov

Please indicate whether the candidate intends to take Course 1, covering general verification and the required accreditation exam.

CARB is accepting applications for accreditation of LCFS verification bodies and individual verifiers. Application forms are available on the LCFS Verification website (also linked below). CARB will screen individual verifier candidate applications, and approved individuals will be notified that they may enroll in required LCFS verifier accreditation training.
