Body of Knowledge Review Sessions

$195 registration fee

The purpose of the RACC Body of Knowledge is to familiarize you with the outline of information upon which the certification CRA examination is based.  This review will help you determine in which areas you are weak and may need additional study.  It is not intended as an examination preparation course, nor will it give you strategies or sample test items to familiarize you with what to expect when you take the examination. 

Instead, we suggest that you form study groups, read the literature in the links from the Body of Knowledge, and concentrate on the areas which the review session uncovered to be your weakest.

RACC reserves the right to cancel a review session if fewer than 15 register by 3 weeks ahead of the date of the review session. 

Registration cancellations or transfers received more than 72 hours before the date of the session will be refunded less a $25 administrative fee; cancellations or transfers received less than 72 hours before the session will be refunded less an administration fee of $75

Below are the currently planned sessions. KEEP CHECKING HERE for added special reviews.  To arrange a special review at your site, e-mail Joan Campbell at jcampbell@cra-cert.org and we will try to arrange one.

NO REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE SESSION.  IF A SESSION IS NOT LISTED HERE THEN REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED
