What is a Certification Bootcamp?
Preparatory certification exam bootcamps are optional but highly recommended as a way to get ready for one of our presentation certification exams. These fast-paced, instructor-led workshops are designed to help you review the Presentation Industry Professional Standards and prepare effectively for your exam.
Bootcamps are taught by experienced professionals and are offered multiple times a year for each certification level. They are conducted virtually using an online meeting platform and run over the course of a week, totaling 8–10 hours of instruction.
Each class takes place for one week, Monday-Friday, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM ET, providing a convenient mid-day schedule.
The sessions are interactive—you’ll have opportunities to ask questions throughout, and the instructor will demonstrate real-time solutions to ensure clarity and practical understanding. As part of the bootcamp, you’ll also review test exam questions with the instructor to better understand the exam structure and expectations.
The bootcamps are offered multiple times a year, for both the Certified Presentation Specialist™ (CPS) exam (Level 1) and the Certified Presentation Expert (CPE™) exam (Level 2).
You have to pass the Certified Presentation Specialist™ (CPS) exam to be able to register for the Certified Presentation Expert (CPE™) bootcamp.
The bootcamp fee includes the cost of one certification exam. This means the training portion is effectively under $300, offering excellent value for high-quality, targeted preparation.
If you have already taken a Bootcamp course, do not purchase the exam. Your instructor has given you directions for accessing your exam.
