Transfer Your Existing Credential and/or Gain a New One!

Share a credential carried by colleagues who believe Shock, Choke & Prong, Pain, Fear, and Force are unnecessary!

Many of you have an existing and recognized credential in the Pet Industry through an independent third party that may not completely reflect your philosophy or you would like to use your existing credential to obtain a new one!

If your current credential was achieved prior to the development and launch of the Pet Professional Accreditation Board, or you would like to use your existing credential to transfer into a second credential then this is the place for you.

Now you can transfer your credential or elements of your credential to achieve one of the three PPAB credentialing levels all at a minimal cost and with minimal work!

All you need to do is meet the eligibility criteria and provide the necessary proof of your existing credential.
In some cases, you may need to complete a video or take an examination to ensure your total transferal submission meets the minimum requirement of the PPAB credential level you are transferring into.
