New Exam Questions
Over the course of a week, 20 subject matter experts, guided by a professional testing expert, volunteered their time and expertise to review and write exam questions for the CTS, CTS-D and CTS-I exams. As part of the ongoing updates to the exams and a requirement of the ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024 guidelines, Certification Committee subject matter experts (SMEs) recently came to InfoComm headquarters in Fairfax, VA. Representing a wide cross-section of the audiovisual industry, experts from the U.S., Canada, Singapore, UK, Australia, India and Germany participated in the summit. As always, the dedication, commitment and depth of industry knowledge demonstrated by our certification program volunteers continue to validate and improve the InfoComm CTS, CTS-D and CTS-I certifications and maintain them as the leading audiovisual specialist credentials worldwide. Each exam question (item) will be further reviewed and validated by volunteer SMEs and then used in the periodic updates to the certification exams.
