What is a certified picture framer?
Many industries have created systems in which individuals can prove their skills and knowledge through testing.
The Professional Picture Framers Association has also created a system in which professional framers can be tested against the latest industry knowledge.
Our membership has many talented and dedicated individuals who practice the art of framing. Although not all picture framers who are qualified in our field have chosen to be tested and certified, those that are have demonstrated the following criteria.
