Thinking About the CTS-D?

Fantastic! Congrats on embarking on the specialized designation to show your design experience. Before you begin preparing, take some time to review some key areas and take the FREE sample questions.

To sit for the CTS-D Exam, you must have:

  • Earned the CTS designation
  • Two years of experience in design, including designated experience in specific tasks found in the CTS-D Handbook

Courses to Help You Prep

Many designers prepare for their CTS-D by taking design courses. If you're an experienced designer, you might skip right to CTS-D Prep, which is offered as contract training or at the U.S. InfoComm show.

Great content, thanks for sharing. If one has achieved CTS-D; are there any post CTS-D recommended "pathways"?

I'm looking at developing some ongoing training POST CTS-D and not sure if anyone else has experienced the "what now?" effect of achieving CTS-D certification.

After I passed the CTS-D, I started studying for the CTS-I. I've also heard that once I have both, the next best venture would be to climb into the BICSI world and attempt to get my RCDD. I've also heard from several of my constituents out west that building sciences, LEED, security, access control are all being added to their plates. Lots to learn!
