About
The CTP and FPAC certification exams are developed by certified subject matter experts (SMEs). SMEs participate in in-person workshops lasting two to three days, where they are trained and guided by professional test development consultants to write and review exam questions and determine exam content outlines and passing scores. Each certification program holds one to three workshops per year.
SMEs are recruited to ensure broad representation across industries, job levels and geographic regions. Participants must hold the credential associated with the exam they are developing. After participating in a workshop, SMEs become part of a pool eligible for invitation to future workshops, though ongoing participation is not required.
SMEs who participate in exam development may not teach or develop exam preparation materials for a period of two years.
