Certification Commission Expands Re-certification Options

There are now three options for re-certification:

1. One may submit 20 images and a record of 10 education units.
2. One may submit a record of 25 education units accrued over five years and not submit images.
3. Or one may choose to re-take the examination and not submit images.

These options are only available for the re-certification process. They are not open to photographers seeking to become certified.

All certified professional photographers are required to re-certify every five years. Certification is a consumer credential and members are required to demonstrate that they continue to grow as professionals either through continuing education or by submitting images for review. If you have questions about the image submission process or education units, please call PPA’s Customer Service Center at 800-786-6277.
