Candidates MUST be able to document activities to support completion of Master Level Major and
Minor Core Credits. As with Public Service Credits, documentation is key to your efforts being accepted
for credit. See APPENDIX B Public Service Credit Requirements for more information regarding
documentation. You may also contact the MBP Director/Committee if you would like to submit an
activity for consideration that is not a pre-approved Major/Minor Core Credit. Three credits within
your major are required at the Master Level. Five additional credits must be earned at the Master
Craftsman Level for a total of 8 Major Core Credits. You may find a Major/Minor Core Credit
Documentation Form in APPENDIX J PROGRAM FORMS to assist you with documentation of credits.
Please contact MBP Director/Committee if you have questions about any of the requirements. All
credits are to be submitted PRIOR to testing.
