The CTS-I exam, officially known as AVIXA Certified Technology Specialist - Installation, is the AVIXA test that leads to the Certified Technology Specialist – Installation (CTS-I) certification at the Professional level. Passing it validates the skills employers expect from a certified professional. It is also associated with related credentials such as Certified Technology Specialist (CTS), Certified Technology Specialist – Design (CTS-D).

The CTS-I exam contains Approximately 110 multiple-choice questions questions, and you have 150 minutes to complete them. Work out your per-question pace before test day, and flag slow items instead of stalling on them — time pressure, not knowledge, sinks many first attempts. Timed mock exams in the NewPassLeader test engines are the most reliable way to build that rhythm.

The passing score for the CTS-I exam is Scaled score 350 (scale range 200–500), and the official registration fee is Approximately USD 400 (varies by region and membership status). If you miss the mark, a retake means paying the full fee again, so book your seat only when you are ready. A practical benchmark: score consistently above the passing line on timed practice tests before scheduling the real exam.

No formal prerequisite required. CTS certification and/or professional audiovisual installation experience is strongly recommended.

Entry requirements can change, so confirm the latest conditions on the official exam page: https://www.avixa.org/credentials/certification/cts-i.
