Become a GAP Connections Monitoring Firm

Monitoring firms that want to become GAP Connections (GAPC) approved must submit a proposal in response to GAPC's Request for Proposal (RFP)  for the relevant scope.  All proposals will be reviewed and the GAPC Board of Directors will select the monitoring firms to be approved.  

GAPC will request a license and participation agreement (LPA)  with monitoring firms that have been approved to conduct GAPC Certification Monitoring Visits. All monitoring staff also must sign a Code of Conduct outlining the integrity, objectivity, confidentiality, and competence of the process. The agreements and approval process ensures a high level of quality and integrity.
