Study guide released for irrigation exam

K. Thompson and Associates, in collaboration with C. Pine Associates, has published a second edition of “The Irrigation Contractor Exam Study Guide.” The study guide is written to help candidates prepare to take the Irrigation Association’s Certified Irrigation Contractor exam, the state licensing exams which are based on that exam (e.g. New Jersey, North Carolina), or other irrigation contractor exams requiring a broad base of business, regulatory and technical knowledge.

This study guide is meant as a companion piece to the “Irrigation Contractor Workbook” by the Irrigation Association and is effective when used with the two-day Irrigation Contractor Training course licensed or provided by the IA. It gives the exam candidate more than 300 self-study questions based in the IA’s workbook and more than 200 sample exam-style questions that are similar to the multiple choice style of many exams. The guide is filled with hints and recommendations on how to study and how to prepare for a written exam.

“‘The Irrigation Contractor Exam Study Guide’ is the perfect way a contractor can use the IA’s manual to either prepare for attending the two-day contractor training course or to reinforce what was learned after attending the two-day course,” said Kurt K. Thompson, coauthor.

“If a contractor wants to take the IA CIC exam or other contractor exam and does not have time for the two-day course, the study guide provides a self-study framework on which they can prepare,” said Chris Pine, coauthor. “We have been asked for more study material by almost everyone who has taken the Irrigation Contractor Training course over the past 10 years, and the study guide gives them just what they have wanted.”

The study guide is available online at www.cpineassociates.com, the Irrigation Association at www.irrigation.org, and soon to be available through state irrigation association websites.
