If you plan to take a technician certification exam at any level, you’ll want to take a look at the new packaging of certification resources from AALAS—the Total Pack. The Total Pack assembles the training manual plus all printed resources to help you prepare for your exam. This includes both the workbook and resource kit corresponding with the manual and the Regulatory Workbook.
The manual workbook helps you digest the content of the training manual, with questions on each chapter that you can use to focus your review of the manual’s content. Unit exams and a final exam in the workbook test your knowledge of each section of the manual. The resource kit contains all the reference materials from which your certification exam will draw questions. Acquiring a knowledge of these materials is important for succeeding in your exam, and so these important study items should not be overlooked. A Regulatory Workbook is included in the Total Pack to help you review these same reference materials through succinct summaries and practice questions.
You can still purchase each of these items separately, but the Total Pack puts all the resources you need at your fingertips and at a discount!
