A Master Sign Maker Accreditation is for a business that demonstrates exceptional proficiency across a diverse range of signage solutions, creative designs, and production methods and has proven to be reliable, trustworthy, and highly competent over a period of time.
The accreditation is awarded to the business and the employees within this that make the Master Sign Maker Accreditation valid. The Accreditation will belong to the business name if the minimum requirements of a Master Sign Maker Accreditation continue to be satisfied by the employees within the business.
