MAKE IT COUNT: GET CERTIFIED!

Master in just one day what normally takes years to learn by becoming a certified Print Media Professional (PMP). This unique credential, available only from PBI, will provide objective, independent verification of your in-depth knowledge of printing processes and practices. PMP certification is a great way to enhance your skills and confirm your value as a print buying professional.

The PMP Certification was developed by the expert team of PBI founder Margie Dana, and RIT Professor Emeritus Frank Romano and Senior Training Specialist Steve Suffoletto. As two of the world's leading authorities on print, Romano and Suffoletto have long been associated with RIT, the foremost print education institution. Dana, a former print buyer, is an author, consultant and founder of Print Buyers International.

The PMP certification exam is an open-book test based on the full-day Print Buyer Boot Camp™ and accompanying workbook. Test questions come from Boot Camp presentations on a wide range of topics, including:

• Major printing processes

• New printing trends and technologies

• Tools for working with printers

• Writing specs and proofing

• How to approve a press sheet and give press color OKs

• Working with paper, ink and coatings

The workbook includes an extensive Print Buyer Glossary as well.

You can take the exam on site following Boot Camp, or you can take the exam at your office and return your completed exam by fax to Print Buyers International.
