Participates must have first completed, and passed, the Basic Certification Course and Exam. This was the only time the Advance Certification Program would be offered until possibly April 2013. This advanced course was focused on complex and cutting-edge FCRA issues.

After completing the Basic FCRA Certification in November of 2011, Norm and Ryan made it a point to participate in the advanced course while attending the annual conference. The Edge employees were two of only 40 individuals awarded this advanced certification. For their success, they were recognized during the conference.
