BCPO^® Certification is a voluntary, industry-led effort that benefits the members of the organizing profession, as well as the public. It is a recognition of professionals who have met specific minimum standards, and proven through examination and client interaction that they possess the body of knowledge and experience required for certification. This program recognizes and raises industry standards, practices and ethics. For the public, while the CPO^® designation is not an endorsement or recommendation, certification of professional organizers maximizes the value received from the products and services provided by a CPO^®.
