The National Quilting Association has developed two programs to help promote basic standards for the teaching and judging of quilts and quilt making. In the Teachers' Certification program, teachers must demonstrate basic knowledge of fundamental skills and must be able to share that knowledge with students.

In the Judges' Certification program, prospective judges must demonstrate basic knowledge of quilt making and must have the ability to evaluate work in terms of color, design, and workmanship.
