What about those foreign graduates who were already here? Do they have to go through the process of obtaining the TOEFL/IELTS and CGFNS certificate? Do you have any info about this? Thanks again!
If you look at the website, it states that they will let you know if you need the CES report, chances are that you do not since you will be endorsing, and not going for initial licensure. You need to contact them anyhow just for the application packet, it is not available on-line.
CGFNS exam with Certificate is completely different from the CES, which is simply a credentials verification. When you got initially licensed in the US, where were you licensed at?
