The BGC Board has now approved these blueprints, and they can be found at QEP and GES Blueprint on GoBGC.org
The updated blueprints and exams reflect the challenging cross-media and cross-discipline expertise that today’s environmental professionals must have to provide their employers, the broader community, and planet Earth with the needed advice and protection in these challenging times.
The updated QEP and GES exams are anticipated to be available in Fall 2023. Starting January 1, 2024, only the new exams will be available for approved applicants.
Over the next several months, BGC will post further updates on how the new blueprints and exam questions were developed, so stay tuned!
NOTE: The GES exam is taken by all Environmental Professional In-Training (EPI) candidates and all QEP candidates that did not earn the EPI designation.
