What do I need to do to become a CTT+?
To become a Certified Technical Trainer you need to pass 2 exams after this class: a written exam ($US 253) and a video exam ($US 276). (A 20 minute video tape needs to be created, submitted and judged as pass or fail by independent people. You are not allowed to submit your video until you pass the written exam.) To pass the CTT exams you need to think of being a trainer in a very large organization. Throughout this course you will receive tips on how to successfully complete both exams. For the purposes of better understanding training and passing the CTT+ written exam, sample exam questions will be given throughout the two days - and time will go into discussing the answers. In this class we will not be creating the 20 minute video that can be submitted for grading. You will receive good details on how to do this.

When it comes to passing the CTT+ exams, even experienced trainers will need to carefully plan out a 20 minute training session and practice it several times before creating a video tape to submit. You may also want work with practice questions a bit after the class.
