Spring CPPS Exam Application Deadline Approaching

The application deadline for the Certified Professional Product Steward (CPPS) Spring exam is approaching. Applications for the Spring CPPS exam must be submitted to the Board for Global EHS Credentialing (BCG) by January 31, 2021.

To earn the CPPS designation, candidates must pass a comprehensive exam covering these four domains. Candidates must also meet specific education and experience requirements.

The Spring exam will be administered March 1 through March 31, 2021 and BGC is accepting applications for it now. To encourage candidates to apply, BGC is waiving the application fee for the Spring exam.

Professionals who are interested in pursuing the CPPS credential should download and review the CPPS Candidate Handbook to find all of the exam details, including:

• The exam blueprint (outlining the four domains, tasks, knowledge, and skills covered in the exam)
• Complete eligibility and application requirements
• Examination procedures, format, and scheduling

The Product Stewardship Society has a number of resources to help candidates prepare for the exam, including several publications frequently cited as resources and an online CPPS exam prep course. Additionally, our Stewardship On Demand learning library contains nearly 200 sessions covering all aspects of product stewardship and can serve as a supplemental resource.
