Certified Permanent Cosmetic Professional (CPCP)
CPCP Examinations may be pre-scheduled and taken on site. The deadline for

Exam date is September 13th, 8:30am, scheduled on a first-come basis.
The SPCP Booth
SPCP runs a booth at every event for products available exclusively for
our members. Members may purchase items such as colorful client brochures, SPCP
logo items, and business form templates. Various publications are available such
as the SPCP Permanent Cosmetics textbook and various workbooks.
Train the Trainer
Past President Elizabeth Finch-Howell, CPCP and SPCP Director Liza Sims,
CPCP are presenting this highly acclaimed program! While a required class for
those wishing to become SPCP trainer members, this will be a program even
seasoned trainers will want to attend. Attendees of this class must be CPCP
certified or scheduled to take their certification exam during the conference.
The SPCP requires five years permanent cosmetics experience to become a trainer
member, although not required for class attendance; however, it would be in the
attendee’s best interest to take the Train the Trainer class around the time
they would qualify for trainer membership. Please refer to the SPCP website for
other trainer member requirements or contact the office for a packet.
Train the Trainer will run from 9:00 am until 4:30 pm on Thursday September
10th and Friday September 11th. Pre-registration is required.
