MINISTER CERTIFICATION UPDATE NEWS!!!
NEW DATE CONTINUES
EXTENTION OF
CERTIFICATION FEE WAIVER!
The actual Certification Fee of $185 is now being waived
through June 30, 2018, for those
applicants who have completed the training sessions (4 Modules), and the
additional requirements toward Certification (see Next Steps article). On July 19, at the International
Gambling Counselor Certification Board’s Annual Meeting, the decision was made
to continue to extend the initial
Certification Fee waiver through June 30, 2918, thus providing more time to
fulfill the requirements toward Certification.
Therefore,
your opportunity to complete the required work and attain International
Clergy/Lay Minister Certification, for only the Administrative Fee of $50, is
still open.
Remember,
the four Modules may be taken in any order!
