Announcing the newly formed NCGR-Professional Astrologers' Alliance (NCGR-PAA) dedicated to individuals who aspire to be, are currently, or who support, professional astrologers. Go to www.astrologersalliance.org to learn more about NCGR-PAA Certification, to find links to our members' websites, and to learn more about our special member programs

Special Note to NCGR members and others who wish to take one of the proficiency exams for certification (Levels I, II, III, or IV): As of March 21, 2009, all of these exams will be administered through NCGR-PAA. The usual fees will apply, but membership in NCGR-PAA will entitle test-takers to a fee discount - the same discount that had applied for NCGR members.

There is a grace period, however. Those taking tests between March 21, 2009 and June 30, 2009 will not have to join NCGR-PAA in order to take advantage of the test discount. However, after July 1, 2009, those applying for testing will need to join NCGR-PAA to qualify for the test discount. (Since membership in NCGR-PAA is $45., it really does pay to join the organization in order to take advantage of the test fee discount as well as enjoy the other benefits of membership).

Please also note that all those who have passed any and all previous NCGR exams still retain their standing for the particular Level of exam they have passed. The only thing that has changed is that tests will now be administered through NCGR-PAA, and certificates will be issued through the new organization. *** Special Note to NCGR members who are currently certified astrologers: You have been granted membership in NCGR-PAA from March 21, 2009 until December 31, 2009. As of January 1, 2010, you will be required to join NCGR-PAA in order to take advantage of the many special benefits granted to certified astrologers by NCGR-PAA.
