Materials

The Mentor Program was created to assist candidates preparing to take the Certification Exam. The Program is voluntary and is offered at no additional cost to the candidate.

A candidate will be assigned a Mentor upon request following formal application for the CLP Exam. Candidates may choose one Mentor from a panel of three, each knowledgeable in areas of the Body of Knowledge of interest to the candidate (as reflected in the survey each candidate completes when the candidate enrolls in the Certification Program.) Or, the candidate may request a specific individual.

All Mentors hold the CLP designation and will answer questions about the conduct of the exam, assist the candidate in understanding and interpreting areas of the Body of Knowledge and generally provide intellectual, experiential and moral support.

Mentors are not instructors or tutors. The candidate is expected to learn the required material on his or her own by studying written materials, by taking available industry courses and through industry work experience. Mentors will provide clarification and interpretation for subjects the candidate has already studied. For instance, the Mentor will clarify Present Value Theory, but will not teach the Theory.
