Study Guide Now Available for ISSP Sustainability Associate Exam
Hartford, CT (PRWEB) February 16, 2017 -- The International Society of Sustainability Professionals (ISSP) has announced the publication of the first in a series of two Study Guides designed to prepare ISSP Sustainability Professional Certification candidates for their credentialing exams. The 237-page ISSP-SA Study Guide, now available, is the most comprehensive preparation tool available for the ISSP Sustainability Associate (ISSP-SA) exam.
Each of the Study Guide’s ten chapters explores a Core Sustainability Concept tested and links to the Study Guide's glossary. Whether used by a sustainability practitioner just launching their career or a veteran sustainability professional taking the ISSP-SA exam as a stepping stone for the ISSP Certified Professional (ISSP-CSP) credential, the Study Guide is an excellent resource immediately and for future reference.
The ISSP-SA Study Guide joins the ISSP-SA Flash Card set as a highly recommended study tool for preparing for the ISSP-SA exam. ISSP will be releasing the next tool in this series, the ISSP-CSP Study Guide, later this spring. Candidates must pass the ISSP-SA exam before becoming eligible to apply for the ISSP-CSP. Since beta testing of the certification program began last summer, more than 275 people worldwide have earned ISSP Certification.
“The ISSP-SA Study Guide was an invaluable resource as I prepared to take the credentialing exam,” says Kathryn Cooper, President, Sustainability Learning Centre in Hillsburgh, Ontario, Canada. “Sustainability is such a broad field and the Guide helped define the Body of Knowledge for the Core Concepts. I would even recommend it to anyone who just wants to better understand sustainability. It is a well-organized, well written and interesting read.”
The ISSP-SA Study Guide is available to ISSP Members for $75 and to nonmembers for $150. It is delivered digitally via a download link sent immediately upon purchase.

About ISSP Sustainability Professional Certification
The Sustainability Associate (ISSP-SA) credential is the first of two levels of ISSP Certification, designed for individuals who are relatively new to the field of sustainability but have sufficient education and training to pass a test on core knowledge and understanding of key sustainability concepts. The Certified Sustainability Professional (ISSP-CSP) credential is for more experienced sustainability practitioners who demonstrate a combination of sustainability-related work experience and formal education. Obtaining the ISSP-CSP requires a passing grade on both the ISSP-SA and ISSP-CSP tests. Registration for ISSP-CSP certification testing will open in the Spring of 2017. Both certifications require ongoing maintenance in the form of CEU’s (Continuing Education Credits) that will be verified every two years.
