I took the CPS exam in 1996 and used Rob Metcalf's computer-based training material. I was very pleased with the quality of his material and feel it was instrumental in me passing all parts of the test on the first try. I'm thinking about taking the new fourth portion this fall in order to receive my CAP.



As far as whether the CPS is superfluous to someone with a management degree, IMHO this really depends on you. It does cover a lot of the same course material, and you really shouldn't need to take additional classes but just review your textbooks and notes if you still have them. Some companies value this kind of designation and some do not. I think it's probably more valuable to someone without a bachelor's degree or with a degree in another field. It's not like an accountant really needing a CPS to advance in his job, but it's definitely a nice to have.
