I have written two emails to GARP asking them to communicate to all of us what is the expected time to verify experience. Thought that this would be more professional than keeping us without any feedback ( in fact just one email e.g. « we are overwhelmed by all candidates etc. « would have done...

I submitted the 4th December and received approval yesterday. Apparently they didn’t respect the First come, First served principle but instead “who’s yelling louder”.

I have tried writing to Rick Apostolic ( president of GARP ) on LinkedIn. Ofc, no response.... For comparison, the CEO of CFA and CAIA are very active in LinkedIn and in fact follow the members from their communities. Just another small difference between them and GARP

I also wrote twice demanding transparent communication on the expected date for verification of experience (submitted 04/12). As you can guess - ignored. I am sure that even those who submitted January are wondering why it takes so much time. In any case it is huge damage on the reputation of...

In 2019, candidates used to get their experience verified in 2 weeks (which still seems a lot to me). I wonder how did exactly the pandemic impacted the verification process? I can imagine the procedure is slowed due to high number of candidates but where are they coming from given that so many...

I am sure GARP would be much faster validating experience if there was membership fee for everyone. I find it hypocritical the claim GARP is « not-for-profit « organisation

Submitted 4th December, very same day the results were released. No feedback yet. What I thought would be just routine check turns already to agony. Will definitely contact if I don’t get any feedback from GARP until February. For comparison CFA validates experience in around a week and I am...
