The rare book trade requires specialized knowledge spanning bibliography, book history, conservation principles, and market expertise. This **Rare Book Dealer Certification Exam** provides a structured assessment tool for antiquarian booksellers, auction houses, rare book departments, and professional organizations to evaluate and certify dealer competency.

Whether you're establishing certification standards for your association, training new staff in rare book authentication, or documenting professional qualifications for insurance and appraisal purposes, this template covers the essential knowledge domains that distinguish expert dealers from casual sellers.

Built with Paperform, this exam template allows you to customize questions for different certification levels, automatically score responses, and generate completion certificates.
