CGC Makes Major Changes to Certification Testing

The CGC Board has approved moving to online testing center locations with ExamSoft. In addition, CGC applicants will be required to submit to a criminal background check, employment and education verifications. This verification process does include additional fees for each applicant/recertificant. The applications are updated with the new procedures, which are posted under each section on the CGC website.

Also, note the application fees for the national exam and state-specific exams are now $275. The application fee for the National Master exam is $525. For recertification with CGC, the NCG recertification fee is $175, and the NMG recertification fee is $250.

Please feel free to contact Lesley Richards, CGC Certification Coordinator, if you have additional questions about the new procedures for 2012.

On October 13 – 15, the ten National Guardianship Network sponsoring organizations, with eleven diverse cosponsors, convened the Third National Guardianship Summit at the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law in Salt Lake City. With 92 delegates, observers, authors, funders and facilitators participating, the Summit was a consensus conference on post-appointment guardian performance and decision-making for adults. The Summit delegates adopted a far-reaching set of recommendations for Guardian Standards, as well as additional Recommendations for action by courts, legislatures and other entities. These documents from the Summit offer the groundwork for nationally recognized standards for guardians of adults. Please click here for a pdf copy of the "summit standards and recommendations" .
