FAQ After Exam Work Experience Verifying Time

[badbunny]

Email from GARP: "Whenever a work experience is resubmitted, it is considered a new submission and is placed in the queue based on the latest date of submission."

Sweet! - exactly what I expected. The human on the phone had the same message.

That sucks...

That sucks...

Hard to find some common sense with these guys....why cant they design a form which doesnt allow any date greater than today...basic check...

 

[Ullaskarkera]

Many people got their emails already, not sure if they are following a proper order. Seems like those who used the glitch and submitted work experience before exam results are getting approval

 

[badbunny]

Just got certified. Two emails sent to GARP asking for the status. I submitted my exp 2 hours after results were out

 

[ivan.jarmanovic]

aaand it finaly worked) ..got my certification!! sent one mail after the 3rd week of result releas (just tried my luck..), again last week one and waited eversince - submitted my CV around 3-4 p.m. CET on July 12th when the exam results came in (maybe these details will help someone..) ..what a journey: unlimited thanks to David and Nicole - I'm already recommending BT big times ))

 

[Ullaskarkera]

Got mine also yesterday...after challenging them how come someone who submitted after results gets the certification while mine was submitted 3hrs before the results

 

[Ullaskarkera]

Let me know if yours gets rejected too. I’ll let you know what I hear once I get a human on the line on Monday. I’m beyond mad . Sorry for venting.

i got it approved yesterday ..i had 2 work exp .....with past end date and current one with future end date(2025)..happy that they didn't reject due to that date

Got mine approved today - 15 mins after sending an email inquiring about the status of my resubmission

Got my work experience approval this morning. I submitted my work experience on 13 July and I sent email to follow up on my submission’s status every two weeks. The customer service is quite responsive, although they cannot provide a specific timeline when your submission going to be reviewed.

 

[frenchmarmot]

Got my work experience approved on the August 27th. i submitted around July 15th. My submission was very detailed, not just bullet points.
So it took about 6weeks to get certified.

 

[Madellaine]

Submitted on 11th ? or just before the results were announced ?

just before results

 

[ivan.jarmanovic]

isn't GARP supposed to send some certificates via UPS or so?

isn't GARP supposed to send some certificates via UPS or so?

I am sure that they promised to send not only some but all certificates. Has anyone already received it? Or at least a notice about sending the package?

@waiting_to_get_verified That is totally disappointing, but I'm constantly disappointed by the experiences in this thread. Given how much (successful!) effort and money you spent passing the exam, I'm frustrated for you. The whole experience verification is ridiculously archaic, in my opinion. First, in the glacially slow timeline: candidates should be able to start the experience verification even before they sit for the exam (e.g., CFP). There's no reason some candidates couldn't be verified before/during their exam sit, is there? (plus might make submissions less lumpy). Second, in this era of digital transformation, the goal should be to verify in less than one week; e.g., LinkedIn. Third, just as the exam needs more transparency, so should this process; for myself, I don't know what they actually do to verify. The process is begging for a digitally-based re-engineering; maybe triage an initial pre-exam submission with AI (?). Think outside the box into the new world. The whole thing is begging for disruption by customer-focused capabilities.

Hi @David Harper CFA FRM not sure if this is the correct place to ask (please feel free to move my comment). Do you know if GARP requires any kind of extra documentation or validation from my company's human resources department (HR) to validate the work experience? I filled a paragraph on the work experience on their website but they did not even ask me for my manager's email or HR's email to validate. I got a rather laconic reply of "Submission Received" without any details of what should happen next.
