	Welcome to the Smog Check Referee Program


	Cleaner air through research and technology.
	The Smog Check Referee program helps support training of over 100 potential smog technicians annually. The students gain real world experience while working alongside our highly skilled and experienced Smog Check Referee Staff. The colleges also benefit from having the additional use of modern, well maintained equipment and a monthly rent for sharing the space. The Foundation for California Community Colleges is contracted by the Department of Consumer Affairs/Bureau of Automotive Repair to manage the Smog Check Referee Program on 33 community college campuses throughout California.
