About the CTS Certification Program
The AVIXA® Certified Technology Specialist™ (CTS) program is the leading professional credential for the professional audiovisual industry, with more than 13,000 CTS holders worldwide. And because it is ANAB-accredited to the ISO 17024 standard, you can be assured it meets the highest standards for demonstrating and verifying you or your team’s skill set.
About the Audiovisual Network Professional Certification
The Audiovisual Network Professional™ Certification serves as a tool to help AV and IT professionals prove their AV networking skills as these two fields converge. AV professionals will be able to demonstrate that while they’ve long known the AV side, they can also properly get their equipment on the network. The reverse will be true for IT professionals: they have ample experience with networking, and this credential allows them to demonstrate that they are also able to properly integrate AV into that network.
Unsure about earning these credentials? Stop by the Certification Lounge located outside room W304. The lounge is a great spot to network with your peers and learn more about AVIXA’s certification programs.

Take a Prep Course*
AVIXA has courses at InfoComm where you'll review exam content areas with an experienced instructor and see where you need to focus your study efforts.
This year, AVIXA has updated the preparation courses for the CTS exam.
CTS 1: AV Technology (previously Essentials of AV Technology) is perfect if you’re just starting your CTS journey and would like to take this fundamental course at the show before other prep courses later.
If you have already taken CTS 1 and AV Math, or have many years of experience you will want to take CTS 2: Applied AV and AV Project Process (formerly CTS Prep).
If you feel confident with the key topic areas covered in the exam, but need more practice taking exams and related drills, take CTS Quick Prep.
CTS-D Prep and CTS-I Prep have no changes.
If you’re planning to take the ANP exam, Networking Technology for AV Professionals can help you fill in any knowledge gaps you may have.
