Association Certificates
Association Certificates are available with and without membership-- if you ordered a badge on this site, or your school enrolled you for 90 days, membership is included with the badge, and you only have to order your Association Certificate here. If you do not want a badge, you can also get your association certificate AND membership here. Your certificate ships separately, as your badge is from a different manufacturer. You do NOT get a certificate with your badge purchase, but DO get association membership included with your badge purchase for a year.
Most of the associations below conduct professional qualification testing at Kaplan and other classrooms, and you avoid this testing when you join below! The fixed prices below are by special arrangement with PSU, U of P and Penn Online ONLY-- you would pay $49 a month or more for independent membership elsewhere, as well as need to sit for the exams.
Association membership means you don't have to sit for professional exams, and is required for trade references, wholesale buying, tools, equipment, identification and licensing in many places. It also is required for insurance, bonding and for good customer perception. Pick your preferred association below, and either buy the certificate, or certificate with membership. TO BUY, CHOOSE YOUR OPTION FIRST FROM THE LITTLE PULL DOWN MENU, THEN CLICK THE GOOGLE BUY NOW BUTTON.
