I didn't know of any that did. The CGC is a AKC thing. It's pretty basic in requirements but a good CYA for anyone doing bite work.
Same with the ATTS Temperament Test (TT).
The Schutzhund club I belonged to we did both. That is actually a more involved test.
That's really surprising with the CGC being so much less demanding then any of the others.
I've always view it as a beginners entry into dog training other then the fact that the AKC would probably have more weight if a dog bite woundup in court.

Interestingly, there is a new, Advanced version of the CGC now being offered by AKC. I guess the intent is to provide a more real-world type of environment. Scroll down to see the ten tests involved:
I snorted out loud at Number 10, where they say, "Think of the handler holding the leash in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other." Oh, boy, I've got so much practicing to do. Just at my training class this morning, I would have been covered in coffee.
Interesting. I was a CGC evaluator 7-8 yrs ago and never bothered to keep it active.
This would be more of entry level basics for someone wanting to get into rally or a CD.
I think that at the time the CGC was introduced the AKC had a mention of intro to obedience and it was a way to bring non-papered dogs into the fold, so to speak. I would think if you were going to put that much energy (for the CGCA) into training you could certainly move into either rally, which is all on-leash and eventually a CD. Like schooling for humans, everything has been dumbed-down. (Sorry for the rant n!!)
