Certification exam vouchers are ideal if you are purchasing one or more certifications for someone other than yourself. Upon completing this purchase, you will receive the voucher code(s) in an email which can then be distributed to the individual(s) applying for certification. Vouchers are valid for 3 months.

After receiving the voucher, the person who is testing for certification will need to submit the IST Application. At the end of the application form, there is a checkout screen where they will enter the voucher code to bypass the payment and submit the form. After submission, CEDIA will review and approve the application, and send scheduling instructions to the test taker (within 2-3 business days).

Note: Prior to purchase please be sure the testing candidate has met or plans to meet two prerequisites below

1. Actively holds the Cabling & Infrastructure Technician (CIT) certification or equivalent certification. View the IST Candidate Handbook for details.
2. Has verified experience installing integrated systems meeting at least one of the options below.
   1. One year of direct work experience – Experience is verified by a reference such as a supervisor, business owner, HR Manager, or product supplier. Verification can also be in the form of redacted documentation such as performance reviews, tax statements or client referrals.
   2. Completed education program – Courseware must address each of the six knowledge domains and be at least 60 hours in length with at least 15 of the hours being supervised, hands-on activities.
