Not everyone learns the same way. If you prefer guided instruction, consider enrolling in live or virtual classroom courses. These are periodically offered by AVIXA and provide the added benefit of real-time interaction with instructors.
For self-paced learners, the CTS Exam Guide – Third Edition is an excellent resource. It’s a detailed book that you can study on your own schedule.
As you study, pay extra attention to topics you find challenging. Whether it’s AV math or system troubleshooting, dedicating time to your weak spots will boost your confidence on exam day.
If you’re an AVIXA member, check your membership level to see if the CTS Prep Pathway is included. Elite members, for example, have full access to the pathway as part of their benefits.
Consistency is key. Set aside regular study times each week and stick to them. Even 30 minutes a day can make a big difference over time.
