Before writing the exam to become certified or recertified by The Board of Certification for Professional Organizers, you must meet certain eligibility requirements in terms of education and experience. Whether you are planning to write the exam or not, it is recommended that you continually read materials that will help you build upon your existing knowledge base.

Here it is once again – time for the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival!
