Gold Seal Foreperson credits: CCA materials conflict (75 in older guide, 100 in current accreditation-program page) — verify with CCA before publishing

Claim: CCA materials publish conflicting credit requirements for the Foreperson designation:

• Older CCA materials (2020 application guide) cite 75 credits for Foreperson.
• Current CCA accreditation-program page indicates 100 credits (matching the other five designations).

Sources:

• cca-acc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/GS-application-guide_June12024.pdf
• cca-acc.com/gold-seal/accreditation-program/

Confidence: Verified the conflict exists; current canonical figure is unresolved without CCA confirmation.

How to handle this in client work

• Default to 100 credits for any Foreperson-focused client communication (more conservative, matches the current page).
• Email [email protected] before publishing a definitive number in marketing or sales material for a client whose Forepersons are pursuing Gold Seal.
• Do not state "75 credits" in any client-facing copy without verification — the older guide may not reflect the current rule.

Why this matters

For Tier-2 Ontario ICI GCs whose Forepersons are mid-career and accumulating credits toward GSC, the difference between 75 and 100 is the difference between qualifying this year vs. next year. Marketing copy that says "Our Forepersons need only 75 credits" could be wrong — and a client whose Foreperson is denied GSC at the higher threshold will (rightly) blame the marketing copy. Verify first.
