CPF Recertification Course - May 5th 9 AM - 4 PM
The art and framing industry is not a static one - it's a constantly changing field with advances in new techniques and products continuously being developed. Framers must stay on top of these advances. That's why PPFA® developed the Recertification program, designed to ensure that designation holders continue to update their knowledge in the industry and keep abreast of the latest technology.
Like the CPF exam, the Recertification course is the result of a collaborative effort of industry experts. Because industry advancements are continuously emerging, the Recertification course is updated on an ongoing basis.
Who should take the Recertification course? Designation holders who want to stay current with developments in the field should take this course. Although not required for those who received their certification before Jan. 1, 1994, it is a must for framers who want to keep their framing knowledge current. The Recertification course gives framers the tools they need to maintain the value of their credential.
PPFA developed Recertification in 1996 to strengthen the value of the CPF designation while helping framers stay abreast of advances in the art and framing industry. This one-day Recertification course, offered at various locations across North America, is a requirement for individuals who earned the CPF designation after 1993.
