Certification Program

Materials for Advanced Tests are being posted!

Now available:

The Handcrafted Soapmakers Guild is developing and implementing a soapmaker certification program. The Guild undertook this activity to encourage and promote the highest professional standards among HSMG members. The Program also presents criteria by which members can measure their soap making knowledge and skill, creates a centralized repository for industry-standard information and resources, and provides a communication venue for members to share their expertise.

The Certification Program benefits the handcrafted soap making industry as a whole by establishing an industry-wide standard of excellence in soap making. Achieving these certifications will benefit the member as it demonstrates dedication to professional standards and builds credibility with customers.

The exams are offered only to HSMG members and are entirely voluntary.
