I’ve just had a query to clarify the “workings” of the on-line and quarterly GCCs which can be registered through the EGA website or by sending the registration form and your check to EGA HQ.

Both on-line GCC registration, offered for 2 months, and the courses offered each quarter as advertised in Inside EGA, have a special registration period in which INDIVIDUALS can register for $20 registration fee plus cost of text for that limited time. This is not registration for a group, but an opportunity for the individual who doesn’t have a group to take the course at a very affordable price.

If you have a group of 9, it would be cheaper to register the group, divide the $150 by the members. Remember, the coordinator doesn’t pay a part of the registration fee and register that way. If fewer, then the $20 is the best way.

This is not a “cyber-class”. It is on-line. You use the text but can contact the teacher with problems / questions, you will receive an evaluation if you submit the stitched piece to the teacher, and a certificate if you meet the qualifications the teacher requires as stated in the text.

Let me know if you have questions.
