Certified Paperhanger Program
After years of careful planning, the National Guild of Professional Paperhangers has established a national certification program for ALL members of the wallcovering installation industry. The program is designed to help consumers, retailers, and manufacturers determine the qualification of contractors and to permit members of the profession to demonstrate their capabilities. 

Ceritified Paperhanger LogoCandidates for certification must be active full-time wallcovering installers who have been employed as such for a minimum of 2 years. Candidates must possess thorough knowledge of all materials and techniques in common use in the wallcovering installation trade. Candidates, however, need not be a member of the National Guild of Professional Paperhangers. 

Achievement of Certified Paperhanger status tells your industry peers and your clients that you are qualified by education and experience to work as a professional wallcovering installer and that you have satisfactorily demonstrated your knowledge and skill through a rigorous procedure that permits only true professionals to earn the designation of Certified Paperhanger.

Contact the National Office for an information packet and an explanation of the certification procedure.

In order for Certified Paperhangers to continue their level of professionalism, the NGPP Certified Paperhanger Program requires re-certification every five (5) years. To be eligible, the Certified Paperhanger must continue hanging wallpaper full-time and complete all requirements of Part I and Part II of the Re-Certification Program.

Contact the National Office for an information packet and an explanation of the certification procedure.
