Web-based CDT Prep Course Now Available!  The online CDT Prep Course is a series of recorded sessions based on the revised CDEP recently released by CSI. The web-based prep course was developed for candidates who do not have access to local classes.  Click here for the link.
All exams CDT, CCS, CCCA, CCPR will be administered computer-based at Prometric test centers. Registration is available via CSINet www.csinet.org/certification as well as via a downloadable application form. All exams will reflect the updated versions of the AIA and EJCDC source documents. AIA comparison documents can be downloaded for free at http://www.aia.org/docs3_template.cfm?pagename=docs_default .  Exams will also be updated for 2007 versions of PageFormat and SectionFormat. The Addendum Exam Study Guides may also be downloaded from www.csinet.org/certification. The purpose of the Addendum is to help candidates be aware of the kinds of changes that have occurred. The Addendum is only an overview of some major points and is not a substitute for studying the new documents themselves. Candidates for the Exam are strongly urged to obtain and study the new primary source documents, rather than relying on the PRM or on older versions of the documents. This is the only way to be sure of studying correct and up-to-date information. All exams will be computerized. Register now to take the CDT, or an advanced certification exam (CCS, CCCA, CCPR).
