    Existing GISPs are not eligible to take the Exam, and it is not a part of GISP recertification. You may take the exam even if you have not completed your portfolio application or have 4 years of Full Time Equivalent (FTE) experience in the field. Under the current certification requirements, you now have 6 years to complete the entire GISP application process (Portfolio & Exam).<\/p>\n

    GISCI has posted some exam prep information to help point you in the right direction to find resources to use when studying for the exam. URISA is currently working to develop a GISP Exam Prep Workshop. This will not be available in time for the July exam dates. The initial version of the workshop will be presented at the GIS Pro conference<\/a> in Toronto on Monday, Oct 31, 2016.<\/p>\n
