Effective 2008, a passing grade is required for all auditors performing a TR-39 (formerly TG-3) review for PULSE or STAR Networks at the processor member level. Auditors receiving a passing grade will also receive a new designation -- CTGA. Examination criteria and relevant information will be provided through each network's normal communication methods. Exam time allowance is four hours. Delap offers the exam several times each year in conjunction with the classes.
