The SPED PPD 100% Club is a program where members pledge to maintain 100% certification among their Piping Designer Staff.  In support this pledge, SPED makes certain online review resources available to the member at no cost and supports their efforts to plan training and gain public funding for staff training and testing.  PPD 100% Club members receive a certificate of compliance for each office in compliance with program requirements.  A Club member with all offices within a corporate entity in compliance can display a special logo on their website and proposals within that entity.  Membership in the program is free to SPED Corporate Members. Other fees apply.

The technical success of the SPED Professional Piping Designer (PPD) Certification Program and the availability of Video, Classroom and Online training to prepare for PPD Certification has enabled this program.  SPED has tested and certified pipers all over the world.  In addition, SPED has successfully taught PPD Level I and Level III knowledge in the classroom, through videos and online. Other college and company training programs have taught PPD Piper BootCamp and Process Plant Layout.

100% Club members must pledge the following for each corporate office or entity to be included in the club:

100% of current pipers will obtain PPD Certification within one year of joining the program. 

Certification  is obtained through testing, unless the exam is waived. (See guidance on petitioning to waive the PPD Exam for Level IV applicants).

New hires must become PPD Certified within one year of employment. 

Once you sign up and become a member of the PPD 100% Club, you can display the Club Logo.

What SPED will do to support the member: 

Online practice questions representative of the PPD exams will be made available for an enrollment fee. For testing groups of 20 or more, an on-site review will be conducted for a nominal fee. A copy of the PPD Review video will be placed on the 100% Club member’s website for test review; Testing will be on call at SPED’s office during normal business hours, or, at a Houston Location or proctored site, by appointment.

The SPED PPD 100% Club Program is beneficial to EPC Employers, Clients and Piping Designers.  Pledge today! For more information, email
