CUSP Prep starts with a pre-test and then studying and test taking skills and strategies. The course also includes review videos and presentations for each domain and endorsement. Throughout the course you will take randomized quizzes on each exam domain and the endorsement you are taking. Periodically, you can assess your readiness and determine your path forward with our exclusive CUSP Exam Simulation. You will also receive a workbook and exercises targeted at exam content. And, during all this, you will have access to LIVE Online Study Sessions facilitated by a highly qualified and certified subject matter expert.

It does not. Your progression through CUSP Online Prep and your scores on quizzes and exams have no impact on your actual CUSP exam score. Please note: your score on the CUSP Exam Simulation in CUSP Prep will be the primary indicator of your readiness to pass the CUSP exam, but it in no way affects your actual CUSP exam score.

CUSP Online Prep is produced by the Incident Prevention Institute, an organization independent from the Utility Safety & Ops Leadership Network (https://usoln.org/) which administers the CUSP exam.

The USOLN does not require a CUSP candidate to take any education or training prior to taking the CUSP exam. It does not recommend or endorse a CUSP exam prep or review course. CUSP Online Prep & Review was developed independently from the CUSP exam, and it does not guarantee that you will pass the CUSP exam.
