TIA CTP Certification

Convergence Technologies Professional (CTP)

The CTP (Convergence Technologies Professional) certification is the only proven program designed to validate standards-based knowledge in today's convergence technologies.

The CTP certification exam validates core knowledge of convergence industry standards and protocols. It is earned by passing a high-stakes, computer-based proctored exam consisting of 65 multiple choice questions.

The CTP certification differs from the CCNT (Certified in Convergent Network Technologies) certification, which is an un-proctored, open-book program that serves as an entry-level introduction to convergence technologies. It is recommended that an individual has attained the knowledge level of CCNT before preparing for the CTP exam or have a minimum of 18-24 months of experience in all three subject areas to take and pass the CTP exam.

CTP Benefits for Individuals
As a technician or support professional working in convergence technologies, CTP certification can benefit you in a variety of ways:
• Validate your knowledge as an expert in convergence technologies – The CTP certification is a widely recognized credential that validates vendor-neutral convergence technologies training. CTP training gives you the foundational knowledge about convergence technologies that can be applied to various manufacturers' products. CTP training and certification will give you the confidence to perform your job role at a superior level, regardless of which manufacturers' products you are selling, installing or supporting.
• Prove your potential and advance your career – Having breadth and depth of knowledge across various convergence technologies topics establishes your ability to handle additional tasks and roles that you may not have been qualified for before CTP certification. Additionally, CTP training empowers you with transferable knowledge that can establish job security and lead to a long, rewarding career.
• Remain competitive and relevant in an industry of continual change – The CTP 2007 exam covers the latest and most applicable topics in convergence technologies. A CTP certification proves you have the most up-to-date convergence skills and knowledge, with skills objectives endorsed by some of the top convergence manufacturers.
