Certified Vision Professional Training

AIA provides educational courses and knowledge testing for vision professionals. There are two levels of CVP training: Basic and Advanced. Individuals may attend either set of courses in person or online, then take the corresponding certification exams at one of AIA's designated testing locations. Those with prior vision experience can choose to take the exam without attending the courses (although AIA recommends taking the courses first). With a passing grade on the exam, individuals will receive their CVP credentials. Continuing education every three years is required to maintain certification.
