These are the eligibility requirements to sit for the Certified Professional Organizer exam straight from The Board of Certification for Professional Organizers' website:
To be eligible to sit for the CPO® examination, a candidate must meet the following eligibility requirements. BCPO® is required to audit a certain percentage of all applications. In the event of an audit, the candidate must be prepared to provide supporting documentation for these requirements.
- Qualified candidates must have a minimum of a high school diploma or equivalent.
- As a part of the application process, candidates must agree to adhere to the Code of Ethics for Certified Professional Organizers.
- Candidates must be prepared to document a total of 1,500 hours of paid work experience in the last three (3) years. This paid work experience may include but is not limited to on-site organizing, coaching, consulting, training, virtual organizing, interactive workshops and speaking engagements, which, through client collaboration, transfers, teaches or demonstrates organizing skills.
So it looks like I will be working on getting 1,500 hours of paid work experience. Wish me luck!
I started this blog, The Orderly Home, to kickstart my journey to becoming a Certified Professional Organizer. I will be posting ideas, my projects, and anything else that pertains to organization. If you know of anyone who need help in the organization department, send them my way!
