Become a Certified Packaging Laboratory Professional (CPLP) by Attending this Valuable In-Person Workshop!

Workshop to be Held in East Lansing, Michigan November 29th and 30th - REGISTER TODAY!

ISTA's Certified Packaging Laboratory Professional (CPLP) Technician and Technologist sessions will be offered on Tuesday, November 29th and the CPLP exam will be held on Wednesday, November 30th. This workshop will be held at the James B. Henry Center for Executive Development on Michigan State University's campus in East Lansing, Michigan. It will be conducted by Larry Dull of Packaging Technology Associates, Inc. who is a CPLP-Professional.

While the typical approach to CPLP certification is through a self-paced study program, either on-line or with printed materials, in-person workshops remain a preferred format for many people. The CPLP program encourages and recognizes development and excellence in packaging laboratory professionals. CPLP certification is particularly valuable for enhancing the credibility of people involved with ISTA testing and ISTA certified laboratory operations.

Workshop Schedule:
On Tuesday, November 29th the Technician course will be given from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm and the Technologist course will be given from 1:00 pm to 5:30 pm. Lunch and breaks will be provided on Tuesday. The exams will be held from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm Wednesday and breakfast will be provided.

Registration Fee:
Registration is $695.00 per session, or $1250.00 for one person taking both levels.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Applicants will receive study materials in advance of the Workshops. Only ISTA Members may take the CPLP exams and receive CPLP status. All CPLP materials and exams are in English. English proficiency is therefore required for successful participation in the CPLP program. A minimum attendance of four people is required for this workshop to be held. If this requirement is not met, the workshop will be canceled.
