The GPC Exam process includes gathering the candidate’s experience in the grants field, a multiple choice test, and a writing exercise. The GPC Candidate Guide is an important document containing everything candidates need to know about the process – moving from the initial eligibility survey, to fee payment, to confirming your eligibility, and then scheduling your exam.

The following steps highlight the process:

  1. Eligibility Survey: Complete a 5-minute Eligibility Survey to assess eligibility before continuing.
  2. Attend GPC Fireside: (Optional) GPC Fireside webinars review these steps and answer any questions.
  3. Exam Fee: Access payment link to submit Registration Fee. (Request Employer Assistance with Exam Fees)
  4. Eligibility Packet: Candidates then have 90-days to submit their GPC Eligibility Packet.
  5. Packet Review: The Eligibility Packet is reviewed by at least three peer reviewers based on a scoring rubric established by the GPCI Board of Directors.
  6. Eligibility Approval: Candidates whose Eligibility Packets are approved will receive instructions for scheduling the GPC Examination and will be assigned a 90-Day Examination Window.
  7. Scheduling & Selecting an Exam Site: Candidates may complete the Multiple-Choice Examination and Writing Exercise on the same day or on separate days. Both components must be completed within the assigned 90-Day Examination Window.
