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 1,000 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), Associate Ergonomics Professional (AEP), Associate Human Factors Professional (AHFP), 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 also adheres to the criteria and policies for competency assessment set by NOCA, the National Organization for Competency Assurance, and has been endorsed by the IEA, the International Ergonomics Association, as an accredited ergonomics certifying body.
