      The Registration Brochure will be available on-line approximately 6-8 weeks before the program.

      Review the qualifications for the county to which you will be applying: www.courts.wa.gov/committee/?fa=committee.home&committee_id=105

      Click here for information about GAL Qualifications and Requirements in King County.

      Annually, KCBA offers the 3-day training component required for application and certification to Title 26 Family Law Guardian ad Litem Registries. Anyone is welcome to register for this training, regardless of intent to apply for appointment to a GAL registry. Please note, however, that completion of this training course does not guarantee appointment to a registry. All application requirements, professional qualifications and background checks must be approved in addition to completion of this training prior to appointment to a registry. Completion of the training is only one component of the application process.

      Please be sure to check with the registry manager in your county (usually located at the Superior Courthouse) to make sure you will likely qualify for appointment before registering for this training, if that is your intent.

      Furthermore, this is not the same training as Title 11 Guardianship GAL training, Adoption GAL training, SGAL training, Professional Guardian training, or Title 13 Dependency Training, and will not be applied to certification processes related to those registries.

      Lastly, sign-in and sign-out is required each day and attendance is required all three days. Registration staff is required to withhold certificates of completion for any attendee that misses 15 minutes or more of the training (whether due to tardiness, cell phone usage, returning late from lunch etc.). Registration staff is specifically prohibited from making any exceptions for any reason, even emergencies. Withheld certificates will be directly forwarded to the county registry of choice. Only the Registry Manager in each county may determine the result (if any) of missed time. Please contact your County Registry Manager if you have any concerns or questions. Additionally, a 1 page report is required for certification.
