The International Detailing Association is pleased to announce the creation and launch of a Professional Detailing Certification Program. The goal of this program is to test professional detailers knowledge on a variety of topics, the creation of baseline-standards shared throughout the industry, and to increase the level of proficiency and professionalism for the industry.

 

The first phase will focus on a series of 10 written exams with the fess structure listed below

 

·         Members: $25 per test, or prepay for all 10 tests for $200

·         Non Members: $45 per test or prepay for all 10 tests for $400.

 

The Certification Program is available to IDA members and non-members. Non members are welcome to join the IDA so they too can benefit from Member pricing. 

Testing Process and Administration:

 

1.        Candidates will email info@the-ida.com to apply to take the test or visit http://www.the-ida.com/certification-and-education/

a.       Please include your name, address, telephone, place of work, email address in your email or complete the form already on the site.

2.        The IDA Executive Director will administer each test in .pdf form to the test taker via email.

3.        Upon receipt of the completed test via email or mail, the association’s Executive Director’s office will grade the test.

4.        The pass or fail notification will then go to the candidate informing them they are eligible/or not to take the next test.

5.    In the event of a fail grade, the candidate will be eligible for 1 free re test. If a test is failed a second time then the candidate must pay to retake the test for a third time.

6.        Upon a candidate’s completion of the 10 tests the Execustive Director’s office will issue an IDA Certificate of Completion in the name of the candidate.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the IDA Certification Program.

It is starting out a bit slower than we had hoped, but as with all things new, it will take time to catch on, especially since there is a cost involved, and the detail industry, like so many others in this country, has suffered economically.

It appears that many members are waiting until the Spring or Summer, when business picks up in most areas of the country to participate in the IDA Certification Program.

Thanks again for inquirying and if you have anymore questions contact the IDA office at info@the-ida.com

Regards

Where can I learn more about what information is going to be on the tests?
Who has been certified so far in our industry?
How is this certification being advertised to the public so they even know it exists?
