CHAPTER 4 • EXAMINATION OVERVIEW

EXAMINATIONThe second component of CCTP certification is the examination. The CCTP examination is a standardized test administered and scored in a consistent manner to ensure legal defensibility. CCTP examination is an assessment intended to measure a test taker’s knowledge of basic principles of prevention, detection of terrorism.

The test is developed and administered by the CCTP governing body and held on fixed dates as determined by the CCTP administration.

The test is administered on paper or on a computer, fixed in terms of scope, difficulty and format. It covers 14 units. The questions are presented in a multiple choice format where the candidate is given a number of set answers for each question, and the candidate must choose which answer or group of answers is correct. Test is held within the classroom and limited to 60 minutes.

EXAMINATION DEVELOPMENT The examination is designed to assess whether a practitioner possesses the knowledge established as the basic competency level required for the designation of counterterrorism practitioner. The examination development process follows internationally accepted procedures for establishing the content validity of a test and the reliability of its scores.

Each domain, and of the relevant tasks, knowledge, and skills within it, determines the specifications of the examination. Each new form of the examination is created according to established test specifications with the appropriate number of items for each domain from the bank of available test questions.

Questions for the examination are obtained from or the CCTP board members. After the questions are drafted, they are reviewed at several different stages for content, accuracy, consistency of style, appropriate reading level, psychometric soundness, and freedom from cultural bias or unequal impact by independent counselors.

The CCTP examination is based on the following 14 units (domains):

1. Global terrorism today - Introduction to the threat2. Terror organizations3. Critical soft targets4. Suicide bombers- their mindset and how they operate 5. The stages of terrorist attack6. The adversary -7. Bombs and explosives8. Dealing with booby traps9. How terrorists conduct intelligence collection10. VBIEDs - Vehicle borne IED (car bombs)11. The security concept12. Incident management13. Minimum cost / maximum security options14. Preparing the operational procedure file and area portfolio

17

Examination Scoring and Reporting After all analyses are complete, the examinations are scored. Candidates will receive notification of passing or failing the exam and score reports containing a breakdown, by domain, of the number of questions they answered correctly versus the total number of question in the domain.

Scaled Score In order to maintain test security, the CCTP Board produces multiple versions of examinations with different questions on each version. Individual scores are reported as “scaled scores.” These “scaled scores” are derived from raw scores through mathematical conversion so that scores from different forms can be reported on a common scale and, therefore, represent the same level of competence. Scaled scores, used widely in the certification and licensing fields, ensure that all candidates are required to demonstrate the same level of ability to pass the test regardless of whether or not they took an easier or more difficult test form. Certified public accountants, human resource professionals, and building inspectors are only a few of the many professions receiving scaled examination scores.

Passing Score The CCTP board establishes the number of examination questions that must be answered correctly in order to meet the “minimum competency” certification standard - 70 % of questions.

Examination FormatThe CCTP certification examination consists of thirty (30) multiple-choice and open questions. Each question has four (4) possible options with one (1) correct answer.

LanguageThe CCTP examination is being offered in various cities globally, the mode of the program is currently only in English.

CHAPTER 5 • RECERTIFICATION

Purpose of RecertificationThe purpose of the CCTP recertification is to ensure that professionals who have obtained the CCTP certification enhance their skills and knowledge beyond the minimum competency. Regular recertification occurs through the documentation of (and confirmation, when audited) the required continuing educational activities within the three-year period following successful passing of a CCTP certification exam.

Granting Your CertificationThe period of validity of CCTP certificate shall not exceed three (3) years. The certificate may be renewed for further periods as the result of a re-evaluation. The specified period of validity of a certificate may be extended for a single exceptional extension of up to six (6) months in order to permit re-evaluation to be completed.

Maintaining Your Certification All CCTP practitioners are required to submit an application for recertification every three years. Each candidate must demonstrate a significant and measurable contribution to the security industry to maintain their certification.

Conditions:

1. Fill the online CCTP rectification form 2. Counterterrorism related contributions- Examples of contributions include, but are not limited to,

security-related presentations or public speaking; publishing; attending an educational event; and/or serving in a leadership position for a security industry association. Each contribution must be se-curity-related and verifiable with documentation provided as an attachment to the application form.

What is a CPE?Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits are points obtained through the continuing education as applied to one’s professional development. This can be done by means of completion of activities that maintain their knowledge and skills related to their professional lives.

One CPE point is usually equivalent to one hour of activity related to additional industry knowledge and/or experience.

CPEs are most often than not earned outside of one’s usual employment undertakings. Activities that are directly related to a job do not qualify as CPEs, however, it does not mean that these activities must occur outside of normal working hours.

27

Non-ComplianceFailure to report the necessary CPEs each year may result in the cancellation of a certification holder’s certification(s). For this reason it is important that all CCTP certified professionals submit at least a total of 20 CPEs.

Additionally, if a certification holder is audited and unable to provide appropriate backup documentation for reported CPE activities, this may also result in the cancellation of that certified person’s certification(s).

When a certification holder is identified to be non-compliant, the certification holder is given 90 calendar days to rectify this state. Failure to rectify the non-compliant state after the 90 calendar days will result in revocation of the certification. After the 90 days has elapsed, CCTP will not re-instate the certification status even if the certified person is able, at that point, to achieve compliance. CCTP may make exceptions to this policy on a case by case basis.

CCTP will notify certification holders who enter a non-compliant state due to failure in submission of CPEs or non-payment of annual dues.

Verification of Credentials CCTP provides a CCTP member zone located at www.cctpworld.com with complete personal certification information. Furthermore, individuals or organizations may ask for written authentication of an individual’s registration status from the CCTP office.

CHAPTER 6 • THE CCTP DESIGNATION

Use of the CCTP Certification LogoIt is essential to understand the proper usage of the CCTP title. The “Certified Counterterrorism Practitioner” title and the letters “CCTP” are registered certification marks issued to CCTP by the Patent and Trademark Office. They can only be used when authorized for a period defined specifically by CCTP. There are proper guidelines for presenting your CCTP credential.

Examples of correct use:• David H. Smith, CCTP • David H. Smith, Certified Counterterrorism Practitioner

The CCTP credential is awarded to individuals, not organizations, and should only be used with individual names.

The CCTP credential may be used only for the period for which it authorized to be used. The usage expires if you have not paid the annual renewal fee or have not met the recertification requirements from CCTP. Use of these titles beyond the authorized period (without complying with renewal or recertification requirements) establishes an unauthorized use of the credential.

It is permissible to use the credential on your business cards, resume, and correspondences or with your signature. You may use your CCTP credential nearly in all areas where you use your name.

Example of proper company use:Lee Security Incorporated provides the latest security services. Employees holding the certified Counterterrorism Practitioner (CCTP) certification include David H. Smith, CCTP and Dana H. Smith, CCTP.

Example of improper company use:Lee Security Incorporated, providing security services by Certified Counterterrorism Practitioners.
