PPCC — What is it?
I know lately many of us have been hearing about, PPCC, but do not know what it is or if it is something we need to consider to take our businesses to the next level. It is Professional Photographic Certification Commission. This was at one time directly done by the Professional Photographers of America. It has now been pulled off to it’s own site. It’s a great way to set yourself apart from your competition. In a nutshell you have to prove you are at a level that you can and should be taking images for pay. It consists of a 100 question test and an image review. The best part about it is once you declare you have THREE years to take your test and submit your images, which for someone like me is a blessing. I am certain I can do well on the test, I love to study. However, picking and creating a portfolio that will wow the judges, scares me, so I am glad I have time to complete it.
Even better is that Sandy Puc is doing a free forum to help 1000 photographers get certified. The forum will be around as long as or until 1000 are certified. This is a great way to meet others studying and get a study group together! She has a free webinar tonight — but it will be available to review if you miss it!
I know this is just the jump start in need to do this — it’s something I have been talking about for a long time.
