So, you’re thinking of sitting for the GPC exam—more formally known as the Grant Professional Certified (GPC) examination.
And no wonder! The GPC credential is highly sought-after by grant professional generalists, meaning grant professionals who’ve mastered a wide range of grant-related knowledge and who have a deep understanding of grant programs, funding sources, opportunities, organizational development, and community collaboration. To pass the exam, grant professionals must exhibit a number of skills, especially the ability to write persuasively.
You may already know someone who’s taken the exam and become certified. Maybe you’ve wondered what the exam is all about—what types of information is covered and what topics you may need to become more familiar with. This guide covers all this and much more.
About the GPC Exam
The GPC exam tests you on the skills and competencies you need to have to perform well in the grant field. In order to sit for the exam, you need to meet certain eligibility criteria. The GPC exam itself has two parts: a multiple choice section and a written section. If you pass both sections, you’ll receive the GPC credential for an initial period of three years.
