Reactivation

 

People who were previously certified may want to pursue reactivation.

When a former Diplomate is reactivated, BGC will issue a new certificate and certification letter, and publish the person’s name on the public area of the BGC/ABIH website.

Reactivated Diplomates will be assigned a new CIH number.
