Membership Benefits Include:
|
- Education
IBPSIA’s educational programs are designed to raise the professional standards
of members by providing a diverse curriculum in technology and business.
Besides the IBPSIA Certification Programs in technology and business, the
association also provides three days of educational seminars during its annual
conference that includes participation in the world's largest trade show, BPAA's Bowl Expo.
- Certification
Both the business and the technology segments of the Certification Program will
continue to be offered concurrently. Members may participate in one or
both phases. Because each phase is a complete program in itself, members may
begin their Certification work with registration for either segment.
Pro Shop Technology courses are offered several times a year – check the calendar for class location and dates.

Information on products, services, techniques, ideas, companies and
