2023 Fee Announcement

9/1/2022

BGC has made changes to our infrastructure to improve services, make your data more secure, manage your certification, and provide digital badging to promote your achievement as a BGC credential practitioner. We have kept annual fees constant since 2017 in spite of rising operational costs; however, effective with the start date of the 2023 fee payment cycle, the annual renewal fee will increase to $170 for active BGC credential holders ($85 for the EPI designation).

The Board and staff of BGC believe that service improvements and initiatives will bring benefits that will result in BGC credentialed practitioners being even more widely recognized for their role in protecting workers, the public, and the environment. As always, BGC will work with you if you are experiencing financial hardship.

Thank you for your support and understanding.
