DUNEDIN, FL, November 24, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Hiring a Certified Professional Organizer (CPO ) can streamline your home and work life, your schedule and commitments, and transfer valuable skills so that you can manage your own time and space. Working with a CPO also instills confidence in the professional organizer's adherence to a code of ethics that ensures that the client's needs come first.
"It wasn't a matter of whether we were compatible or not, and it wasn't that she is a terrific organizer and easy to work with. Those are the easy decisions when hiring a professional organizer. What helped me make my decision was that Miriam was certified," says Shelby Smith-Sanclare a small business and professional coach. She has worked with Miriam Ortiz y Pino, CPO , of More than Organized on decluttering and systems set up.
"I could be confident that my personal information of whatever type would be kept confidential, and she would handle all of my needs with a heightened standard of conduct, honesty, and integrity. She has accomplished all that and more," says Smith-Sanclare.
So how does one become a Certified Professional Organizer ? The computer-based, 2 hour CPO exam can be scheduled any time during February 2009 at sites around the world. Anyone who meets the specific minimum criteria, and proves through examination and client interaction that they possess the body of knowledge and experience required for certification, can earn the designation through the Board of Certification for Professional Organizers. For example, home and real estate stagers, senior move managers, records managers and other related specialists may qualify.
The BCPO is the self-governing, independent certifying body formed to recognize and raise industry standards, practices and ethics through independent certification.
