One of the main purposes of the Guild of Canadian Weavers is "To prepare and set examinations at designated periods for the benefit of those wishing to qualify for the four stages of regular membership in the Guild". While anyone may join the Guild, only successful candidates go beyond being "Weaving Members". This is a testing programme not a teaching programme. The four stages are: Basic, Intermediate, Senior, and Master.

For complete information on the Tests, you can download the complete GCW Tests Requirements Booklet:
