GISCI is looking for qualified individuals to take the Inaugural Exam (those who are able to meet the Portfolio Review requirements at the time of the exam).  For those qualified individuals who pass the exam and complete their Portfolio Review, either prior to or within one year of  the exam, GISCI will reimburse the $ 100 Application Fee and the $ 100 Portfolio Review Fee.  Although anyone can sign up to take the Inaugural Exam, preference will be given to qualified individuals when assigning test seating dates.
