Classroom Experience
Dr. Baehr offers both CPTC Foundation and Practitioner exam preparatory courses at regular intervals throughout the year through the Society for Technical Communication’s education program. Courses are typically offered every other month, providing many opportunities for students to schedule a course at their convenience. Each of these courses offers a condensed, accelerated format that helps students quickly assimilate, review, and prepare to sit a live certification exam.
Each course is an interactive, live online presentation, which runs four weeks, and each session is 90 minutes, providing a comprehensive overview of the nine core competencies, learning objectives, core exam content, question types, study resources, and test taking strategies. Each session provides a walkthrough of sample exam questions with detailed explanations of answers and related study materials. During course sessions, students are encouraged to ask questions and provide feedback on the certification exam, study resources, and individual concerns.
Outside classroom resources include recordings of the live sessions, slide notes, additional sample questions, and study materials designed for individual practice. Students are encouraged to ask questions via email, but may also meet one-on-one with the instructor for additional support.
