About the CTS Program

Individuals, companies, and customers have always recognized the CTS® certification for its credibility and integrity. In pro AV the Certified Technology Specialist™ (CTS) program is the leading professional credential with more than 14,000 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.

Why Get CTS Certified

People looking for qualified AV professionals know that you have met those standards by passing the CTS exam. What does this mean for you and your organization? It means that a proven, reliable credential like CTS could make you (and your business) a top contender in AV projects.

About the ANP

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.


 

Certification Renewal

CTS certifications are awarded for a period of three years. To maintain your certification, you must complete minimum levels of continuing education during each three-year period and must reaffirm your commitment to the CTS Code of Ethics and Conduct.
