Reactivation

 

People who were previously certified may want to pursue reactivation.

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

Reactivated Diplomates will be assigned a new CIH number.
