What does CPE stand for?
CPE stands for Certified Professional Electrologist. In 1985 the American Electrology Association (AEA) contracted with the Educational Testing Service (ETS) to develop a board certification credential that would withstand the minutest scrutiny. ETS also developed and administers the Scholastic Aptitude Exam (SAT), Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and many other admission, certification and licensing examinations. Those who take the test and pass it are allowed to use the credential CPE. In order to keep CPE status one must complete 75 hours of continuing education in the field of electrology every five years, or retake the test.
