Industry and Association Leadership

With thousands of certified professionals globally, CTP+ is the largest vendor-neutral convergence technology certification program in the world.  The CTP+ program was originally developed by Certification Partners with the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) to enhance the convergence technologies business environment by promoting the use of skills and knowledge standards in the industry and the workplace.

Supporting this effort is the CTP+ Certification Advisory Council, consisting of leading manufacturers and professionals in the telecommunications industry. Through the council, these industry leaders help define the CTP+ objectives, and maintain the integrity and relevance of the CTP+ certification.
