I do not meet the education requirement for CPE/CHFP or CEA certification, but have been practicing ergonomics for X number of years. Can I apply for certification?
Again, the BCPE recognizes that people enter into the profession of ergonomics/ human factors from a variety of academic backgrounds and occupational experiences. Individuals who lack the required educational preparation may request a waiver of the education requirement. The waiver must demonstrate the candidate has acquired the kind of knowledge normally obtained through academic training and be comparable to the level of education required for the certification sought.
