CPP- process and changes over the years

[suebird]

Was curious why these requirements were removed from CPP process?

The previous requirements for certification used to be this:

"You must have been in full time practice for at least 2 years."
"You must provide copies of State, Federal and local (if applicable) licenses"
"You must provide 3 references from other studio's in your area"

Can anyone remember what were some of the other parts that were part of the certification process that have changed of the years?

We had to drop those in order to comply with the Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE) which oversees all of the major certification commissions in this country.

Michael, has there ever been an apprentice/ mentor phase of the membership or certified professional photographer designation process?
