This electronic study guide (free to CWEA members), revised July 2016 (with minor updates August 2016), is to help certificate candidates understand what is expected of them on the certification test and to help them identify resources to assist in preparation for the test. It is not a comprehensive text on the wide variety of topics covered on the certification test. Successful candidates should expect to spend significant time reading and reviewing additional materials listed in this study guide along with any other materials available that can help them understand the subject matter of the test. In addition, successful preparation strategies include attending study sessions, participating in study groups, and completing relevant vocational and college courses. Ultimately, the amount of preparation required to pass the test depends on a candidate’s education, training, and work experience.
