NEW! SIMA recently completed a series of recorded study presentations corresponding to each test section. The recorded study presentations are meant to supplement the written study material, and should not be purchased without the written guides. In webinar style recordings using powerpoint, Phil Harwood, CSP, of Pro-Motion Consulting reviews each of the test sections, going over definitions, important facts, and study questions for each chapter of the modules. Each presentation lasts approximately one hour. The presentation disc also includes a section on study tips. (Canadian modules are also included in the presentations).

The navigation bar on the right offers information and sample questions from each module, as well as the titles of books, videos, and resources for further information. The study help section is meant to supplement the modules, not replace them. SIMA strongly recommends purchasing the study modules in order to be fully prepared for the exam.
