PPA Certification, how much does it cost, and is it worth the money?

Answer 1

Members of PPA or SEP have the administration costs of Certification spread out over the term of the credential. An application fee of $100.00. Once you are certified a nominal fee of $50.00 will be assessed annually.

The fee for candidates who are not members of PPA or SEP is $500.00. For these non-members a re-certification fee of $250 is assessed every five years.

If you are a portrait or wedding photographer, having a PPA certification might be helpful to your business.

Commercial photographers usually join ASMP.
