The Copic Certification Program is designed for papercrafters, scrapbookers, rubber stampers, storeowners, employees, and anyone who is interested in learning about Copic products. Our one-day intensive programs will teach diverse applications for Copic products with the intent of people sharing their knowledge with their classes, stores, workshops, or furthering their personal talent. You may take back-to-back certification classes. You may also apply for both the Standard and Intermediate classes at the same time -- as well as in the same location when offered. If you are a teacher and wish to be added to our Certified Instructor List, please contact us once you have become certified at the Standard and Intermediate levels.
The Copic Papercrafting Standard Certification class includes hands-on education of Copic products, blending techniques, answers to common problems and teaching users how to test and select inks and papers. You will leave our class with all of the information you need to sell, teach or just enjoy using our products. Attendants of our Standard Certification class will also recieve a 98-page manual, an exclusive kit of Copic products, and a portfolio to keep samples of the different techniques you learn in class.
