CTS-I Application Eligibility — Verifier List

The CTS-I Application requires eligibility verification in six skill-related areas as listed in the CTS-I Candidate Handbook and in the CTS-I Application Form. For each of the six skill-related areas, there are several options for verification.

One option is by the signature of a person other than the applicant who has personal knowledge of the applicant’s experience within that specific area. Generally a recognized verifier will be one of the following:

• A current CTS-I in good standing with the Certification Committee (up-to-date renewal and no active sanctions) who has personal knowledge of the applicant’s experience
• Applicant’s supervisor who has personal knowledge of the applicant’s experience
• A manufacturer-approved instructor who has personal knowledge of the applicant’s experience
• An audiovisual program instructor who has personal knowledge of the applicant’s experience

Note: Regarding verifying experience: In serving as a verifier for the applicant, the verifier understands that he/she is attesting to the applicant's experience in the specific technical areas as listed below.

Note: Experience sections below are based upon the candidate having at least the minimum experience and proficiency necessary to meet the experience requirements. Parameters defining the minimum experience are provided below as guidelines.

Another option is by successfully completing a course that is recognized as meeting the minimum requirements as listed in each of the six skill-related areas below. The candidate must attach a copy of a course completion from the recognized course found in the listing on this website under CTS-I Eligibility — Recognized Courses for the appropriate sections below. For a course not previously recognized, candidate must submit a copy of the course title and learning objectives along with a copy of the course completion document with their application.

Note: For courses that are not included in the recognized list, in addition to the course completion copy, the applicant must attach course title and learning objectives for the skill area with the application.

The six specific skill-related areas are:

1. Termination
