Well worth the nerves and nightmares. I can't tell you how many times that trotting out that credential has put an end to the argument about whether I know what I am talking about. "I am the only framer in Maryland west of Baltimore (hi, Meghan!) and one of less than 80 in the world" pretty much covers it.

Don't take it though, if you are in Maryland. Otherwise you will take away my Big Selling Point! hehehe
 
I would encourage anyone interested to go for it. It was about the most harrowing exam I have ever taken but worth every second of fear.

Same here, I can't believe I had any nerves left after that. I can tell anyone this; you'll become a better picture framer, it will be hard to think 'pre MCPF' framing methods. And the credibility issue on knowing your trade is HUGE!:loco: It's a no brainer!

Go For It!!
 
It is a Great Experience. You will look at everything differently after you study and take this exam. Well worth the time and effort you will have to put into it.
