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.
This credential demonstrates AV knowledge and opens doors to the industry. You must earn the CTS before you earn a specialized designation.
To take the CTS-D exam you must have the CTS credential.
To apply for this exam you must have the CTS credential and at least 2 years of verified installation experience.
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.
