CCE’s Human Services – Board Certified Practitioner (HS-BCP™) was created in 2008 by CCE with the assistance of the National Organization for Human Services (NOHS) in consultation with the Council for Standards in Human Service Education (CSHSE). The credentialing process is designed for human services practitioners, including those holding technical certificates, associate, bachelor’s and advanced degrees.

The current grandparenting period ended on April 1, 2010. Applicants who applied during the grandparenting period can download the Norming Exam Candidate Handbook at: http://www.cce-global.org/extras/cce-global/pdfs/hsbcp-candidatehandbook.pdf. The candidate handbook includes information on how to schedule an examination date, how to request special testing accommodations based on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and a description of the examination format and content.

The postgrandparenting HS-BCP application packet is now available at http://www.cce-global.org/extras/cce-global/pdfs/hs-bcp_application-standard.pdf. Test administration for human services practitioners who apply using the postgrandparenting HS-BCP application will begin in December 2010.
