Comment by Michael Carson on September 7, 2012 at 2:19pm: I am new to this group. Don't see much by way of a guide how to get around the website and participate and ask questions, etc.

How do I contribute questions to the Discussion Forum? Thanks.

Comment by Kelly Summers, AG on November 18, 2011 at 8:44am: Application deadlines for 2012 have been posted on our website.

They are:

April 2012 Quarter - 3 Apr 2012

July 2012 Quarter - 3 Jul 2012

Applications for accreditation must be received by ICAPGen by the deadline above, in order to be considered to take the exam during that quarter. It is recommended but not required that the application be submitted the quarter prior to the one in which the applicant desires to take the exam.

Comment by Tristan Yeaman Tolman on September 13, 2010 at 11:34am: They have decided to do three different blank experience tables: United States, Canada, and International. That way you all do not need to wait for a table to be ready for your specific country. Paula, you should use the International table for your Italian research. The tables can be downloaded from the ICAPGen website here:

Also, there are some sample tables online for many different countries that you can look at. There is not an Italian sample table yet, but you will get the idea as you look at some of the other ones.
