TPN Designee Points

The TPN point grid allows everyone the opportunity to qualify for a TPN designation even if they have not taken formal training from the established industry entities. You should be prepared to document the points that you claim if the application processor deems it necessary. You only need to meet the minimum number of points to qualify. Also, note that there is a cap in some of the categories for each level of designation.

ITP = 50 points ATP = 100 points DTP = 150 points
