The GPA Approved Trainer designation is based on an application that includes grant course descriptions, learning objectives, a list of competencies and skills, and positive references from participants. Renewal is required every three years.
The GPC is the only grant credential recognized by a nationally-accredited body and confirms mastery of the knowledge and practice of grantsmanship through formal validated testing. The GPC has become an industry standard attesting to qualifications and experience better than a college degree or grant training certificate. In 2019, the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) accredited GPCI and the GPC credential for demonstrating compliance with the NCCA Standards.
The GPC credential requires verification of awarded grants, years of grant experience, and references to take the exam. Maintaining the credential requires upholding ethical standards and accumulating over 100 CEUs by providing grant services and participating in professional development and volunteer service. Renewal is required every 3 years. Verify Katherine FH Heart, GPC at www.grantcredential.org.
