Please note: Effective May 2018, new competency profiles and exam blueprints are in effect. The exam preparation courses are not a comprehensive review of examinable content, but rather a sampling of topic areas that have traditionally been more challenging for candidates. It is the candidate’s responsibility to ensure they have reviewed the most current version of the competency profile and exam blueprint for their discipline to direct their studying.
