CGFNS-CES

World International

Published

Hi everyone!

I'm from Philippines and i've been planning to apply for licensure in New Mexico. One of the requirements is a CES. CGFNS is the credentialing agency that i would want to evaluate my credentials.. I just wanted to know what's the first thing that i must do. Should i register online first at the CGFNS site, fill up and send a CES application form online or thru snail mail, or file a request for academic records to my school and a request for validation of registration at PRC?

Ok thank you so much

I called CGFNS this morning, and after 30 min of being on hold, I was told they are going to have my file reviewed by the manager and told me to call back on wednesday. Should I be worried? It's been 4 months almost since they received all my doc's!

I called today and spoke to the representative. He said the manager assigned someone to review/work on my file and that they're doing that as we speak. I asked if he could tell me why it's been taking so long, and he said he couldn't. He said Hold on and hung up. I called again in hope of getting a different person on the phone just to see if their stories matched. After waiting for 45 min on the line, I got the same guy. He was very obnoxious and impolite, asked Why I am calling again, that he told me what's up a few minutes ago, and that he isn't going to argue with me. I said I am calling again because he said to hold on and then hung up. He said he didn't say Hold on, I said Yes you did. He said they record all conversations and that he can prove it. I was like Whatever and that I am going to call back tomorrow. This is getting ridiculous!

I just checked my status. and now all my documents (including HS diploma) meet all program requirements. How soon can I expect the report to be issued?

I also just called CGFNS to ask them the same question and didn't really get an answer. What I've been told is that my file went in review on March 9th (2,5 months after they received all my documentation - REALLY?), and to allow 8-10 weeks for report to be issued...I don't think that is true though, because 2 pieces of my documentation Met all program requirements in late January...

Nothing, just make sure that CGFNS are aware of your maiden name and that a report is coming to them from X company in your maiden name.
