PVIP exams
The PVCMS exam is a relatively new and rumored to be difficult to pass exam.
Most questions on the PVIP exam can be written slightly differently in context to make them PVCMS exam questions, so if you know how to pass the PVIP exam, you will know how to pass the PVCMS exam.
For example, when I recently took another one of the specialist exams, the PV Design Specialist exam, I could not tell the difference between the PVIP and the PVDS exams. I assume that this is much the same for the PVCMS exam.
There are very few people who have taken the PVCMS exam and there has been no activity here until June 2022.
I recommend studying the same as if you were going to take the PVIP exam and I have posted my PVIP exam question here.
If you decide you would rather take the PVIP exam, let me know and we can switch you into that course.
Thanks,
Sean

There's a recommended progression to follow, but you have the flexibility to access the materials in whatever order you prefer. Pre-order courses are available on launch date. The courses are self-paced and you can set your own schedule to complete the materials. You can begin the lecture videos and other course materials as soon as you enroll. After successfully completing the course, you will be able to generate a certificate of completion.
How long do I have access to the materials?
Students get unlimited access to the course materials as soon as they enroll and for one year (365 days) after enrollment. Rewatch videos and review assignments as many times as you want. View updates the instructor makes to the course as the industry advances. Return to your course anytime with online access from anywhere in the world. After the one year of access expires, access can be extended by joining as a HeatSpring member. A single membership extends access to course materials for all past enrollments.
Will the instructor really answer my questions during this course?
Yes! This is an instructor-led online course. You can ask questions on the discussion board and get prompt answers from your instructor. It varies by instructor and by course but typically instructors check-in between daily and weekly to check quiz results or project work, review and respond to discussion board questions and read survey responses. Check the enrollment page for specific information about each instructor's check-in frequency.
Is there a certificate of completion?
Yes, when you complete a course in this bundle you are eligible for a certificate of completion from HeatSpring. You can download your certificate as soon as you have completed all of the course requirements. Students can easily share their verified certificates on their LinkedIn profiles using our LinkedIn integration.
