The Service Playing Certificate is recognized by many churches and employers as a guarantee of proficiency at the organ and brings organists many professional benefits. The test is entirely practical, and the required skills come into play at the worship service(s) you play each week.
To help candidates prepare for the test, The AGO Certification Committee has developed the Service Playing Test Study Guide as an educational resource for service playing candidates. The study guide is almost 60 pages in length and comes with a CD containing musical examples.
