Certification Program

Our Powertex Certified Instructor Program allows us to recognize a level of expertise in the use of Powertex products.

Four levels of certification are explained below. Each covers the main topics to be mastered, and there is no mandatory order in which to follow them.

The participant is considered a certified Powertex instructor as soon as one of the first three levels has been completed.

The benefits

1) Recognition of competency with Powertex products
2) Volume discount when purchasing Powertex products
3) Authorization to resell Powertex products
4) Authorization to teach any course with the use of the Powertex Certified Instructor title
5) Offer of visibility on www.powertex.ca as a certified trainer and reseller of
products 6) Offer of visibility in the newsletter as a reseller of products and may provide articles

It’s important to know that Powertex Certified Instructors are not required to offer training or sell products. You can become certified only because you enjoy creating projects with the products, and you will still benefit from the volume discount on the products. Some artists use their certification to reduce their Powertex product costs while reselling or not reselling their work.
