Intensive Review Course - don't = miss this opportunity to take the CGFM exams

Have you applied for the CGFM Program, but are having difficulty committing time to study and take the exams? Would you like to save on exam fee= s?

Then consider AGA's Intensive Review Course! Already a staple at two of AGA's conferences, it was just offered before the National Leadership Conference (NLC) in Washington= DC and once again was sold out.

After attending the two-day review course on February 9-1= 0, the candidates tackled the CGFM Examinations over the next two days (with s= ome taking all three exams in one day!). As a result, 19 of the participants pa= ssed all three (or finished up their remaining) CGFM Examinations at this event. Several others passed one or two examinations and are on their way to completing the CGFM process.

While this "intense" experience is not for everybody, participants were attracted to the idea of completing the CGFM process in a short period of time, having a set deadline to take the examin= ations and saving money (the cost of CGFM Examinations is included in the Intensive Review Course fee and this fee is less than the cost of the three examinations). Holding an Intensive Review Course and CGFM Examinations in conjunction with AGA National Leadership and Professional Development Conferences gives the candidates one more way to reinforce the material and take the CGFM Examinations (candidates can also take the exams at Prometric testing centers anytime).

The extra reinforcement of the material is exactly what s= ome people wanted and needed. The Intensive Review Course is not a substitute f= or the six days of regular instructor-led training courses. On the contrary, t= his course is designed as a supplement to previous preparation for the CGFM Exa= minations. In fact, the majority of the participants have either attended the CGFM training courses or purchased the CGFM study guides before participating in= the Intensive Review Course.

AGA plans to continue offering this course and CGFM Examinations at its upcoming conferences. The next Intensive Review Course = is scheduled for June 21-22, 2007 (with exams on June 23-24, 2007) in conjunct= ion with AGA's Professional Development Conference = (PDC) in Nashville, TN.
