When I say to people that we are Certified, they often ask, "What does that mean?"
CPOs earn their credential by proving they embody the founding principles, have the requisite experience, adhere to the BCPO Code of Ethics, and comprehend the entire body of knowledge required to pass the Board of Certification of Professional Organizers (BCPO) examination. Every 3 years we renew membership and need to have taken 45 credits in those years.
