Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. I’m in the middle of CTS Prep Online. Can I continue to access the course?
Yes, Premium Members, Elite Members, and Enterprise Members will still be able to access courses they are currently enrolled in and actively working on.
2. What happens if a Premium Individual Member wishes to access the CTS Prep Pathway on or after March 31, 2025?

3. How will the updates affect Enterprise Members and their teams?
Enterprise Member companies and their staff will automatically receive the CTS Prep Pathway on their dashboards by March 31, 2025. This ensures uninterrupted learning and access to the latest course content for all team members. If members of your staff are currently taking any of the older courses, such as CTS Prep Online, they can continue to progress in those courses if they are already enrolled. However, we recommend your team try the new courses in the pathway for an optimal learning experience.
4. Will Elite Members need to take any action to access the updated CTS Prep Pathway?
No action is necessary from Elite Members. All updates to the CTS Prep Pathway will be seamlessly integrated into your existing learning platform, ensuring you continue to receive the best tools for your professional development.
5. Can non-members have access to other course offerings beyond the CTS Prep Pathway?
Yes, non-members can access a variety of courses by purchasing the 30-Day Training Pass, ANP Prep, and AVoIP Foundations. The CTS Prep Pathway, available for $449, is one of our premier offerings designed to provide comprehensive AV training to those not in a membership program.

9. What is different about the updated courses?
We have updated the content in CTS 1 (formerly Essentials of AV Technology) and CTS 2 (formerly CTS Prep) to reflect the latest JTAs so that essential topic areas are covered. The pathway is also now more straightforward. Prior, Essentials of AV Technology Online and CTS Prep Online were separated into individual modules, which many found confusing. The courses are now in a familiar long format, which gives you a clear progression toward exam preparation. For more information about how to prepare for the exam, visit avixa.org/ctsprep.
