Global Training Centre is pleased to announce that the Ground Disturbance Level II® classroom course has been endorsed to the BCCGA Ground Disturbance 201 Standard (British Columbia), effective as of Aug. 21, 2019. It is possible for a student to complete multiple jurisdiction training on the same day by completing a Ground Disturbance Level II® Alberta class with one addendum and then completing the required additional training for the second addendum afterward. This would take 1-1.5 hours of additional instruction after the regular class for the Addendum, Exercise, and Exam for the second jurisdiction. Alternatively, a student will be able to return at a later date and request the second jurisdiction as well. However, their second ticket will be valid only for the period of the original class. The BC Addendum add-on is an additional $41.00 ($39 plus $2 BCCGA Certification Fee) plus applicable taxes and fees.

Important:  Photo ID is required to receive a certificate.
