Criteria for becoming a trainer

 You can become a trainer in your part of the country
Here's what you need to do:

1. To be eligible to teach the SKPA full-day accreditation course in your area, you must first become fully accredited with Special Kids Photography yourself.

2. Complete the SKPA Trainer Application Form, stating prior training experience (experience not confined to photography) and other required information.

3. Secure the provisional training license and materials for $499 (includes Morning and Afternoon Training Manuals with script and complete CD with over 500 slides on PowerPoint 2003 software). You must have PowerPoint 2003 or later edition for software to perform correctly.

4. You must hold a training at least twice yearly to maintain the license. There is no required number of attendees. Your license to train will be reviewed after 2 years. Continuation of the license will be based on evaluation forms submitted by attendees and upon their test scores. In other words, you must provide the information in a manner whereby attendees will understand the material well enough to pass the test.

5. Trainers may charge from $199 to $249 for the all-day workshop, of which a $20 donation will be forwarded to SKPA for each attendee. The package fee includes the $50 exam/photo review fee (also forwarded to SKPA). The fee also includes the two workshop books, which the trainer may purchase at a discount. Books may also be sold on the trainer's webiste.
