AMPP courses are designed to provide a strong foundation of knowledge, but certification exams may also assess real-world experience and advanced field skills. To prepare effectively, we recommend completing relevant AMPP training and reviewing the Exam Preparation Guide (EPG), which outlines key topics, sample questions, and additional study resources to help you focus your efforts.
