    Several years since you took CRGAR classes?

    Or CCCBR Classes?

    CRGAR constantly updates the content of its courses with the most recent legislation, court decisions, and government policy changes.

    And, it is now required that CRGAR members refresh their training every 6 years. If you last took CRGAR Training before 2013, it is time to renew it. CRGAR will confirm your prior training year, if our records indicate you should attend classes with our new course modules.
