In Slovenia... 21 - 24 March 2009

This year, any QBN member who is ready can get their CBA certification at Slovenia Event.

What are QBN and CBA?

The Qualatex Balloon Network (QBN) unites and supports businesses that offer value-added balloon designs featuring Qualatex products. QBN Business Members are dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in balloon decor and bouquets.

EDUCATION!

Three comprehensive educational Kits teach techniques and systems for creating, selling, and pricing balloon gifts and decor.

REFERRALS!

QBN Business Members are listed in the searchable Find-A-Pro directory, enjoying referrals from customers as well as other members. QBN Business Members with a CBA on staff enjoy priority listings.

MARKETING SUPPORT!

Once you demonstrate your knowledge of the material in a Kit by passing the accompanying test, you'll unlock powerful marketing resources (many of which are FREE) to help you sell what you just learned.

Technically, a CBA is a balloon professional who has:

Taken and passed (with a score of 80% or above) all of the QBN tests (either Vols. 1-5 or QBN Balloon Basics, QBN Balloon Deliveries & Bouquets, and QBN Balloon Decor).

Professionals who earn the CBA designation have chosen to grow their businesses through networking with other balloon professionals, continuing their education, giving and receiving referrals, and taking advantage of the marketing support available to CBAs.

There are currently more than 2,000 Certified Balloon Artist professionals worldwide.
