Tuesday, September 1st, 2009Certification Announcements- Important Update for CPP PCI Exams
Monday, August 17th, 2009Implementation of New CPP, PCI Exam Test Forms to Begin on May 1, 2010.
In 2008, ASIS International undertook an update of the domains, tasks, and knowledge areas comprising the test content outline for the CPP and PCI examination programs by conducting worldwide Job Analyses (also known as role delineation studies). The new CPP and PCI exam forms, which will be administered beginning May 1, 2010, were developed using updated test specifications (examination blueprints) that resulted from these newly updated Job Analyses. A Job Analysis describes the major areas of responsibility (i.e., domains of practice) in a profession, the specific work-related tasks associated with each domain, and the knowledge and skills that are necessary to perform the tasks. This type of study is conducted every 5 years to ensure that examination content remains relevant, current, and accurately reflects job-related activities, competencies, and professional standards.
Please note that all candidates scheduled to test before May 1, 2010, will test with examinations developed from the current test specifications. All CPP and PCI exam questions are developed using the CPP and PCI reference books. Hence, it is recommended that candidates focus their preparation for the examination using these books.
