**AGC offers certification review study courses to coincide with the examination dates for individuals wanting additional help attaining certification.  Classes are led by certified administrative professionals (CPS and/or CAP) who are familiar with the examination and related materials--they are not professional instructors.  Any fees associated with the courses help AGC defray the expenses associated with the classes and also support the continuing education and professional certification programs of AGC. Attendees are responsible for selecting their own appropriate study method; attending a review course is not mandatory nor required to take the exam. A review course can help some attendees focus their study time on both content and test-taking skills. AGC nor any of our course leaders make any claim or guarantee that upon completion of a review course the attendee will pass the examination--that is solely the responsibility of the individual. For more information, email CERTIFICATION.  Thank you!
