Preparing for one of our certification exams can seem intimidating, as there's a lot to know and apply. It can be complicated and overwhelming to know where to start when it comes to reviewing the material or what you need to know in the first place. We have outlined our various exam preparation products for our credentials, available on our CCI store, to aid you in your study prep search.

Before we dive in, we want to remind you that, as a certification organization, CCI’s role is developing and administering certification examinations. CCI does not require or endorse any specific study guides, review products, or training courses. Candidates may prepare for certification examinations with any educational materials they choose. The purchase of CCI review materials is not required for testing, nor does the use of any review materials (CCI or otherwise) imply successful performance on the certification examinations. No study resources are prerequisites for the certification examinations.
