Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements

Certification or Licensing

The National Organization for Human Services, in collaboration with the Council for Standards in Human Services Education and the Center for Credentialing and Education (CCE), offers the human services-board certified practitioner designation to applicants who meet educational requirements and pass an examination. Contact the CCE (http://www.cce-global.org/hsbcp) for more information.

Certification or licensing may be required for some human services positions, such as social worker. These requirements vary by state. Contact your state’s department of licensing for more information about requirements in your state.
