Final Exam

All course work must be completed within a three-year period in order to be eligible for the final exam.
The three-year period commences on the date a candidate completes their first fundamental course.
NAGGL requires verification of course attendance, which is accomplished through the daily check-in process.
Status can be found within candidate's NAGGL profile under education tracking.
Substitution for fundamental courses by other NAGGL courses or programs, or by other organizations’ courses or programs, is not permitted.
Privately scheduled courses may be used for credit only if the standard course curriculum is delivered in its entirety.
Condensed versions of a standard course curriculum may not be used for credit. To ensure that a privately scheduled course will be eligible for credit, please discuss eligibility of the curriculum to be delivered during the contract negotiation process.

Upon completion of all courses for the Fundamental Lender Diploma Program, candidates are eligible to take the final exam.
NAGGL will inform each candidate of their eligibility to take the final exam and recommends scheduling the exam within 90 days of the eligibility date (the date the final fundamental course was successfully completed).
Candidates will complete the final exam via the Internet.
The final exam must be completed within 15 calendar days from the date received by the candidate. Candidates may complete the final exam only once during the 15-day period.
All final exams are automatically scored followed by a manual review.
The final exam is composed of sections that cover content from each required fundamental course.
The candidate must receive a score of at least 70% on each section to pass the exam.
Recipients will receive a diploma and will be issued a digital badge.
