The AGS sponsors a monthly two-hour workshop to help prepare candidates for the Professional Geologist Licensure Examination. The workshops are held in the classroom annes located behind the main building near the forest gate at the Fernbank Science Center, 156 Heaton Park Dr. from 10:00 am until 12:00 pm the last Saturday of every month (check the calendar, holidays and other events may result in date changes). Everyone is welcome to the workshops; AGS membership, while preferred, is not a prerequisite. We do not "teach the test;" our aim is to review fundamental concepts of the earth sciences and acquaint candidates with industry specific information not easily obtainable from the literature. Please inform anyone who might be interested in becoming a professional geologist of our workshop and consider joining us even if you are not a P.G. candidate. The workshops are interesting and informative. Map

AGS Members: `The Professional Registration Committee Needs YOU…
If you are an AGS member and would like to contribute to the Professional Registration Committee by leading a lecture on one of the subjects listed below, please contact Ken Simonton either by email or at the monthly AGS meetings. The lecture should be for one hour+ followed by a Q&A session. We need different speakers for each workshop. Your volunteering to teach on one of these subjects is essential to the success of the Professional Registration Committee - we need more widespread participation by the AGS membership. Speakers can be compensated for expenses and will receive certificates to acknowledge their participation.
