  • PPA's Merit & Degree Program

    Created in 1937, PPA’s Merit & Degree program (our longest-standing educational program) works hand-in-hand with our other educational events and competitions, helping you earn a PPA degree that recognizes your achievements in the profession. It means you have met PPA’s standards of excellence and service. More importantly, it provides you with another tool for telling the world—and all those potential clients—why they should call you rather than your competition down the street.

    A PPA degree is not the completion of a university curriculum; it is a representation of the oldest and largest professional photography organization’s standards of excellence.

     

  • Become a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP)

    Studies show that certification is the most widely recognized consumer credential. Consumers may not know a thing about photography, but they know that certification should ensure professional-quality goods and services. Plus, it helps you keep your professional edge.

    Luckily, certification is another tool PPA provides. Earn it, and it can help enhance your professional image, grow your business and increase your value to your customers.

  • Never Stop Learning

    That’s what you’ll hear from virtually every successful business person—yes, including photographers. And Professional Photographers of America (PPA) offers the best educational events, networking, and credentials tailored to the photographic industry.

    Take a look at what's coming up - and then mark your calendar to save the dates. We'll see you there!
