The following table lists references that may be useful when studying for the certification test. The table lists primary and supplementary study references. Primary study references are recommended as the best sources for studying for the certification test. Supplementary study references are recommended as sources that will help to further your understanding of the subject matter beyond the primary references.

For each reference a “P” indicates Primary reference and an “S” indicates a Supplementary reference. Check the Grade column that corresponds to the grade level you will be taking to determine if a reference is Primary or Supplementary. Blank boxes indicate that the reference is not appropriate for that grade level.

For information about obtaining these publications call the phone number listed in the reference. If no phone number is listed contact the publishing agency directly or contact your local library or bookstore.

This reference list is intended to assist certificate candidate’s in their preparation for the Plant Maintenance certification tests. Use of these references does not guarantee successful completion of the test. There may be other publications that may be helpful to candidates preparing for the test. CWEA encourages you to identify and utilize other resources in preparing for your test.
