In looking to have some engraving done, I found this site and a number of engravers that use "Certified Professional Engraver" in their names. I'm curious as to who does the certification and what it entails. Does one have to present samples of ones work, or is certification a bit easier to attain?
Thanks in advance.

Mr. Stone.
Welcome to the FEGA forum.
The Certified Professionals have to submit work to a panel of judges for approvial to become Certified.
If you click on "Pictures" on the left side of the Home page you will see pictures, bio's and a complete listing of the professionals and some of the very talented regular members.
I'm sure some of the FEGA officers will answer your post and help in any way possible.
Best of luck with your project.
John.

As John mentioned, the Certified Professionals must meet certain criteria and have their worked judged by a panel of their peers. If you would like more information, I would be glad to answer them.
Thanks,

Brian,
You need to log in as a "member" and then in the members section there is a PDF file that has the info.
The link is: http://www.fega.com/FEGA1/CPAppCriteria.pdf
That should give you most of the answers.
