American Electrology Association's International Board of Electrologist Certification
The American Electrology Association believes that one of the most important steps an electrologist can take in their career-development is to become board certified.
The Certified Professional Electrologist (CPE) credential signifies that your knowledge has been tested and measured against a national standard of excellence. Your commitment to keeping the credential, through on-going continuing education, exemplifies the highest degree of professionalism.
WHY BECOME A CPE?
Board certification is recognized as going above and beyond what is required. As a voluntary credential, this helps promote you as a true professional committed to continuing education pursuits
Board certification demonstrates to other professionals, as well as to the public at large, that you are serious about enhancing your knowledge - thereby better serving them.
Maintaining your certification keeps you aware of changes in the profession and gives you the tools to respond to those changes. This accomplishment is evidence of a pursuit for excellence and the ability to meet standards and requirements.
