**AGC offers Certification Review Study Courses to coincide with the certification exam dates for individuals wanting additional help attaining their certification. Attending a review study course is not mandatory nor required to take the certification exam and are led by certified administrative professionals (CPS® and/or CAP®) who are familiar with the examination and study materials--they are not professional instructors nor affiliated with the University of Texas at Arlington. Any fees associated with a review study course helps AGC defray the expenses associated with the courses, and also supports the AGC continuing education and professional certification development programs. While a review study course can help some attendees focus their study time on both content and test-taking skills, AGC nor our course leaders make any claim or guarantee that upon completion of a review study course the attendee will pass the examination--that is solely the responsibility of the attendee. The guidance provided is general and attendees are responsible for selecting their own appropriate study method and materials. For questions or more information, email CERTIFICATION. Thank you!
