Due to the four-day closure of the BRPT executive office caused by recent severe winter weather in the greater Washington, DC area, the application deadline for the March 2010 testing window for both the RPSGT exam and the CPSGT exam has been extended one week to Tuesday, February 23. Applications and all supporting materials must be received in the BRPT executive office by 5:00 pm on Tuesday, February 23.

RPSGT applications for the March testing window are now subject to a $35 late application fee. The late fee is applied to all applications submitted after the February 2 initial application deadline.

There is no late fee for CPSGT applications in the inaugural CPSGT testing window. CPSGT applicants for the first administration of the CPSGT exam remain eligible for a discounted $150 application fee. The regular fee for the CPSGT exam is $240.

“The unanticipated closure of the BRPT Executive Office has created a substantial backlog in application processing for both the RPSGT and the CPSGT exams,” according to a statement from the BRPT. “Please be assured that every effort is being made to work through that backlog and process candidate approvals as quickly as possible." The BRPT is requesting that all inquiries be directed to [email protected] rather than calling the executive office. Inquiries to info@brpt will be addressed within 24 hours.
