CPF Exam

Hi all,

I've spent the last six months working as a framer at Michaels. I didn't expect to like the job so much but it's a great compliment with my art degree and my previous experience in research (brain science). I joined as a PPFA member because I want to make picture framing my career. I'll be eligible to take the CPF exam in six months and I want to start studying now.

No question that I don't get a comprehensive training from Michaels. Worse, after my first three months of working, my manager took a medical leave of absence and won't return until April at best. I want to study and become better at framing, eventually finding a more stable place to work. I figured while I'm at a big box, I can work on earning my CPF and researching on my own.

I want to sign up for the CPF study group that is starting in March (12 weeks) but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to attend every meeting at 4pm. Is that considered a faux pas or bad form? I'm doing pretty much everything on my own and on my own time.

Advice? Thanks in advance!

Hi Fitz,

I know we are holding this session a bit earlier in the day so it is understandable if you do not make all the sessions. The good thing is you can take this session and then sign up for the next one also. The study group is a great learning tool and allows you to ask questions while working toward your goal of CPF. We do have a FB page where you can also post questions and review the materials we cover each week.

SIGN UP!

Hope to see you there in a couple weeks.
Robin
