The IDAL Stenciling Certification program provides an opportunity for League members to have their work juried by the leaders in the field. Only truly outstanding work passes the scrutiny of the Stenciling Certification Review Committee.
In recognition of their outstanding work, IDAL's certified stencilers are listed under the appropriate designation.
Certified Master Stenciling Teacher (CMST)
This class of certification can only be achieved after the member has earned the title of Certified Master Stenciler (CMS)

Certified Master Stenciler (CMS)
This class of certification can only be achieved after the CS member has earned passing marks in four master categories: wood, walls, fabric, and a free choice of substrate. Each artist's imagination is challenged at this level. Applicants are juried on the basis of their creativity, inventiveness and skilled approach to the coordination of colors and designs. Only truly outstanding work meets this standard of stenciling excellence.

However, the CSA program was created to allow the Certification candidate more artistic freedom in creating a unique design concept.
