By registering for this course, you are not signing up for the CTS exam. The CTS exam must be applied for, paid for, and then scheduled separately at a Pearson Vue testing center. Candidates should review the CTS candidate handbook to learn more about the CTS Exam. Remember, there is no requirement to take any classes or buy study materials to take the CTS exam. However, many of your peers have found courses like these helpful in their exam preparations.
