The National Organization for Human Services (NOHS) and the Center for Credentialing & Education (CCE) would like to recognize the human service practitioners who applied for the Human Services – Board Certified Practitioner (HS-BCP) certification during the 2009 grandparenting period. These dedicated human services practitioners have lead by example and shown their dedication to professional identity and the human services field.

All of the HS-BCP applicants who met the November 15, 2009, deadline will, upon final approval of their application, receive a commemorative HS-BCP wall certificate and lapel pin. The wall certificate and lapel pin will identify these individuals as founding HS-BCP certificate holders.

Additionally, it has come to our attention that many practitioners and students were unable to apply during the 2009 grandparenting period because they either did not receive notification or will not graduate until spring 2010. In an effort to assist these fellow human services practitioners, CCE, in consultation with NOHS and the Council for Standards in Human Service Education (CSHSE), has decided to extend the grandparenting deadline to April 1, 2010. Individuals who apply under the extension will need to meet the same requirements of completing a grandparenting application and participating in the norming examination.
