CLERGY/LAY 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!
