Question:

[Kim_McMillion]

Is there a limit to the time I can be a PPA member without being certified? I really want to become certified, but I'm really freaking out over the whole process. And I don't want to loose the PPA benefits....so how long can I take to complete this process?

[Keith_A_Howe]

oh - like 70-80-90 years or more. LOL! It's not a requirment. It's an option.

[Stan_Lawrence]

Certification, like success, is a choice. Not a requirement.

Hey,

Where in the world is Keedysville?

I think there's a time limit from when you apply for certification to when you have to complete both parts. I took the exam, and then waited something like 2 years before I sent in my prints. I was worried I was going to miss the deadline. I almost didn't get my prints in, since I started getting that, "Isn't something due around now?" feeling about a week before the deadline. I actually selected, edited, ordered and received my prints in time to overnight them to PPA. Got them in on the last day.

I'm much better under pressure.

Wonderful, that takes off some of the pressure. Thanks everyone

Oh, and Don: Keedysville is near Harpers Ferry (I didn't hear of it either...untile we moved here) "Hangover" MD---that cracks me up!

Hi Kim;

Did you get the certication information packet yet ? If not, call and request it.
