Developing an Exam Preparation Program

Pass Factors Associated with the CPP® Examination

The Professional Certification Board undertook important data collection in order to provide chapters with meaningful information, such as preparation methods, length of study, education levels, etc., that affected a candidate's passing rate. View more details (pdf) from CPP® candidates regarding factors that may be assumed to influence their CPP® examination results.

Introduction:
The ASIS Professional Certification Board (PCB) established this site primarily to assist ASIS Chapters enhance or develop programs to help candidates prepare for the certification examinations. The PCB recognizes that some ASIS members may not be able to participate in Chapter preparation programs, so some of the information may be helpful for individual in those circumstances as well.

While this information is taken from the experience with the CPP® Program, it could be used as a template for the new Professional Certified Investigator (PCI®) and Physical Security Professional (PSP®) certifications until a sufficient amount of relevant data is gathered specific to those candidates.

The site is designed to be an informal information-sharing resource to eliminate reinventing the CPP® preparation wheel. Many chapters have done an exceptional job organizing and presenting study/review programs and some can point to a high level of success by participants in their programs. The PCB does not officially sanction any of the programs or study methods listed herein. We recommend that Chapters or individuals directly contact contributors to this site for further information about their programs.
