Master Certified Members — Installers have passed PDAA’s Master Proficiency Certification Tests, demonstrating proficiency in all types of vinyl installations including complex curves and vehicle wraps.

Basic Certified Members — Installers have passed PDAA’s Basic Proficiency Certification Tests, demonstrating proficiency in all types of flat and simple curve installations including signage, wall murals and trailers with rivets.

General Members — Installers are not PDAA certified, though they may be highly proficient in vinyl installations.
