Note: students attending the Review Course must bring a General Principles Review Manual to the course. Exam applicants do receive a General Principles Review Manual when they apply to sit for an exam. If you have not applied to sit for an exam and you are attending a review course you will need to purchase a General Principles Review Manual. This can be done during the Review Course application process.

Each course is designed to ensure the applicants understand which concepts will be covered by the exam and act as a review for most of those concepts. Because this certification is meant to identify experienced professionals all concepts will not be reviewed in detail during the review course. Applicants for the exam are expected to have a sufficient combination of education and experience to be able to independently study the materials identified in the General Principles Review Manual. The General Principles Review Manual also serves as the Review Course outline, you may download the CESSWI-General Principles Review Manual-Table of Contents to learn more.
