Course Description
This is an informational webinar designed to introduce participants to MBNA's new Design Course credential.

The Goal of the Basic Design Course is to give memorial retailers correct ideas of proportion and composition in memorial design, to establish skills, confidence and creativity that will enhance their ability to serve their customers and in return, create a better interest, by the public, in meaningful commemorative art and the demand for monuments.

The student will not be expected to become an accomplished artist, but should acquire a feeling of what is pleasing to the eye and develop confidence in generating ideas and putting them together with a sense of harmony.

CEU Credits
The MBNA Certification Program was developed as a result of a three-year study program by some of the industry's most recognized leaders. It raises the professional standards to those engaged in the memorialization industry and awards the top level of competence and ethical conduct.

To achieve initial certification, a minimum of 50 points must be accumulated; individuals have a maximum of 5 years immediately preceding application for certification during which to accumulate the required points.

To maintain the “Certified Memorialist”® designation under the MBNA Certification Program, an individual must earn a minimum of 30 points in these categories over a period of 3 years. Recertification must be made 3 years from the last designated certification.

This program has been approved for one Continuing Education Unit (CEU) towards initial or recertification as a CM®.What does my registration include?
