The GPC Exam occurs year-round. GPC candidates may commence their registration at any time. However, the registration process is time sensitive. That is, candidates must continue to complete registration in a timely manner to remain in the exam queue.
Candidates whose Eligibility Packets are approved will be assigned a 90-Day Examination Window. Both components of the GPC Examination must be completed within this period.
