Preparing for CGFM Examinations
Begin by reviewing the CGFM examinations content outlines, which list the main and subtopics covered in each examination. This should be the focal point of your preparation. It is the core document used as the basis for each examination and a guideline for writing examination questions.
Explore the various preparation options available from AGA. Be sure to review the CGFM Candidate tips.
Join us for one or more of our Strategies for Success sessions for CGFM candidates, held via Zoom on September 18, October 30, and November 20. A member of the CGFM team will offer tips and suggestions for preparing for CGFM exams, and take your questions.
