[CathyKeshi]

Welcome lurkers ... come talk to us

Lady_Disdain, we'll make you an honorary member of the Order.

 

[battah]

Well shoot, now I wish I had hurried up and finished the course! Can I be an honorary herbie too?

 

[Katbran]

Well I definitely want to be included in the Herb circle .....just make sure there's lots of munchies when we meet...

 

[PurpleBiker]

Fantastic Course I'm very much enjoying it! I have a new found apprecaition for Freshwater Pearls! There's a lot more to them than meets the eye. Love all the History on them and how Cultured Pearls came to be! Thank you for the course! This info about Bali is fantastic, I'm new here & what a fun opportunity! I think it would be a dream to go visit a pearl farm, but, WOW Bali!!! Thank you for everything!!!

I finished the course on September 7 (same as Bweaves) and I still haven't gotten my certificate yet. Should I be worried?

 

[Pearl Dreams]

I finished 9/20, no certificate. I expect they're backed up from lots of people taking the course.

 

[alisbethblack]

Great course! I took the GIA pearls certificate course and the CPAA course covered some same but many other more interesting things! I am happy to have this certificate!

 

[battah]

I haven't gotten my certificate yet, but I did get an email today that was addressed to pearl specialists. So I assume we're in the system.

 

[jshepherd]

I got a message from them today. Another large batch is shipping on Tuesday, so hopefully they will arrive soon.

 

[perlas]

I'm part of the herby club! I thought I was too late for it.

And my herb of choice is....

 

[JerseyPearl]

perlas, congratulations on your herby designation. I love the leaves and pearls together.

 

[Pareltje]

Congratulations, Perlas, on your herby certificate I love your bay leaves and pearls together

 

[Pearl Dreams]

My husband spotted it even before I did, and immediately called it out.
I'm not in the Herby Club; instead I have a new first name.

I don't think he's going to let me forget it.

 

[jshepherd]

Congratulations Loetta I just sent them a message and asked them to resend, lol.

 

[Lagoon Island Pearls]

Perhaps all those certified could add "CPAA Pearl Specialist" to the Custom User Title in their P-G profiles?.

 

[Pareltje]

My husband spotted it even before I did, and immediately called it out.
I'm not in the Herby Club; instead I have a new first name.

I don't think he's going to let me forget it.

Aha! now I know your first name is Loetta! No seriously, I asked Bo to put my full name on the certificate but I got my shortened name. Since it's a Herby, I decided to leave it as it is

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Pareltje and Jeremy! (And thanks for asking them to resend, Jeremy. )

That's not a bad idea there, Dave.

 

[JerseyPearl]

I like that idea Dave!
Pearl Dreams...I actually know someone named Loetta! And a few Lorettas too.

Finally finished the course and passed the exam at 34/35 I noticed one spelling error in the WSSP retailing section, where south was spelled "soutb."

 

[linda.wald]

I have a silly question... is there a discount code for the course? I want to take it but I can't justify the $599 at present. From what I am reading here, there is, but I couldn't find what or how much. Thanks!
