The Online Study Course (OSC) is offered to help individuals study and prepare for the exam. This course is an intensive three-month on-line program that utilizes a textbook and on-line materials to provide a structured review process. All of the material, minus that covered in Foundations of Business, 5th edition, is available in the OSC. The online study course is offered prior to each scheduled exam.
The OSC allows candidates to work at their own pace from the convenience of their home while taking advantage of a structured study format and personalized guidance.
The OSC is not a substitute for the exam. It is designed to provide a guided view of the appropriate material that the exam will cover. Candidates take regular on-line quizzes to assess their understanding of the material. Quiz answers will not be sent out to candidates for review in order to ensure the integrity of the CTB Exam.
There are separate fees for the OSC and exam. (Note: If you plan to use the textbook from previous candidates, be sure to check with TIA to make sure you have the appropriate editions of the textbook being used.) Currently, Foundations of Business, 5th edition, by Pride, Hughes and Kapoor is the correct textbook.
The Online Study Course fee is non-refundable.
