    The recognized accreditation body for engineering and scientific certification and specialty certification programs


    The Council of Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards (CESB) is an independent, voluntary membership body created for its member organizations who recognize, through specialty certification, the expertise of individuals practicing in engineering and related fields. Its creation on April 24, 1990 was the culmination of organizing work by volunteers from among the 130 attendees (23 organizations represented) who participated in the April 1988 National Conference on Engineering Specialty Certification.

    Objectives

    CESB, as an accrediting body, provides:

    basic criteria and guidelines for the establishment and operation of specialty certification programs for engineers, technologists, technicians, and related scientific
    it serves as a recognizing body for organizations that certify individuals
    it represents its members in communications and, when appropriate, in negotiations with public and private agencies, groups, and individuals with respect to matters of common interest
    and it informs employers, specifiers, public officials, the public, and engineering and related practitioners of the benefits of specialty certification.

    They seem to be legitimate body but not listed with CHEA

    Here are all the Councils who are CHEA recognized.

    So wile they are claiming recognized accrediting body - their recognition is not by CHEA but maybe by other members of CHEA.

    Like if ABET recognizes them then they are agent of ABET sordoff.
    Well ABET is Associate member of this organization.

    Anyone can provide additional info ?

    See the other forum where you posted

    CESB is a 100% legitimate accrediting organization, and they accredit many respected credentials. However, they *don't* accredit academic degrees -- they accredit certifications awarded by professional scientific and engineering societies.

    You posted your inquiry twice, both here and in the "Accredited vs State-Approved vs Unaccredited" forum. I put a more detailed response over there.
