The Center for Credentialing & Education (CCE) created the Human Services – Board Certified Practitioner (HS-BCP™) 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 was designed for human services practitioners seeking to advance their careers by acquiring independent verification of their practical knowledge and educational background.
Applicants holding a bachelor's or advanced degrees obtain the HS-BCP™ credential through an independent review of their qualifications. Approval is based upon demonstrating the achievement of the required educational and professional experience and by passing a national examination developed by human services practitioners for human services practitioners.
