CWI 2-Week In-Person Seminar

The three-part CWI exam is intentionally challenging, and putting in adequate study time is critical to successfully passing it. The two-week in-person CWI seminar is designed to give candidates sufficient time to prepare for all three parts in a focused classroom environment.

Included in this seminar package are required standards, codebook and toolkits, extra face-to-face time with an instructor and an in-class practice exam.
