Allied Professional CCDS Exam Content Outline

IBHRE conducted a job task analysis (JTA) for the CCDS exam in 2021. A job analysis study is designed to obtain descriptive information about the tasks performed on a job and the knowledge needed to adequately perform those tasks. The purpose of the job analysis study was to:

• validate tasks and important knowledge; and,
• develop test specification.

As a result, IBHRE's previous exam content outline was updated. To view the current certification exam content outline, please click here.
