Information Regarding Review Courses for the National Certified Guardian Examination.
NGA Review Courses for the national certification exam may be taken through NGA as a "webinar" through the use of a computer and a toll free phone number. The Review Course is divided into hour long modules; persons can do not need to take all four sessions. Materials for use with self-study are also available.
To purchase materials or seek additional information, please visit www.guardianship.org.
NOTE: The Center for Guardianship Certification now requires that persons sitting for examinations use a computer to take examination. Examinations are still proctored. An internet connection is not needed to actually take the examination; however, it is required at some point prior to and following the examination.
