Who We Are

Established in 1990 as an independent nonprofit organization, the BCPE is the certifying body for individuals whose education and experience indicate broad expertise in the practice of human factors/ergonomics. To date, over 1,500 professionals have successfully met BCPE’s certification criteria and been awarded one of the following distinguished credentials: Certified Professional Ergonomist (CPE), Certified Human Factors Professional (CHFP), Certified User Experience Professional (CUXP), Associate Ergonomics Professional (AEP), Associate Human Factors Professional (AHFP), Associate User Experience Professional (AUXP) or Certified Ergonomics Associate (CEA).

The BCPE is governed by an elected board of leading professionals and is managed by an Executive Administrator and a Financial/Information Systems Manager. The BCPE is endorsed by the IEA, the International Ergonomics Association, as an accredited ergonomics certifying body and is a corporate member of NOCA, the National Organization for Competency Assurance.

In March 2009, the CPE/CHFP program was accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).
