What is HCD Certification?

The Human-Centered Design (HCD) certification is a foundational examination based on a knowledge framework essential for executing digital transformations and developing digital products and services. This certification serves as a common language across various fields, including manufacturing, service industry, healthcare, education, and government, benefiting many types of professionals such as planners, developers, designers, quality assurance specialists, procurement officers, sales, and service personnel.

The goal of this certification is to provide ample learning opportunities for the common language and mindset associated with HCD, helping to facilitate organizational and societal transformation for the times ahead. This initiative is backed by the Japan Human Centered Society Co-Creation Organization.
