System Operator Certification & Continuing Education (SOCCED) Database

Provider Site:

Both initial (new) and existing continuing education providers gain access to the SOCCED through a web portal designed to integrate with a Microsoft SQL database. The link below will take you to the SOCCED home page, where you can:

create a new provider account, or

access your existing provider account

Once you gain access to the SOCCED you can apply to become an approved provider, renew your provider status, submit new individual learning activity (ILA) applications, review the status of existing courses, and submit transcripts of delivered courses so system operators can receive credit for CE hours earned by taking approved learning activities.

SOCCED Home Page: https://socced.nerc.mcgware.com
