- The Official CMT® Curriculum updates on an annual basis. The 2022 Digital Efficient Learning Curriculum will be out of date with the release of future editions. Because the curriculum changes each year, we do not recommend that candidates study for upcoming exams using out of date content.
However, customers may download the 2022 readings to keep for future reference or purchase the print version.
The VitalSource eBook does not expire, but the code you receive to access it does. If you purchase the Digital Only version of the CMT® Curriculum, be sure to set up your VitalSource account and activate your eBook right away.
- If you select the Print + Digital purchase option on our website, you will receive a physical copy of the 2022 curriculum shipped to you and immediate access to the CMT® 2022 Digital Efficient Learning Curriculum on Efficientlearning.com.
- As the CMT Association permits candidates to sit for a single Level per exam window and there are only two exam windows per year, it will take longer than a calendar year for you to complete Levels I-III. This means your preparation will likely span across at least two curriculum years.
Therefore, we do not recommend that candidates purchase all three levels of the Official Curriculum at once, as the content will change as you progress through each Level.
