SBE CPT Prep — Certified Production Technologist

TRAINING SIGNAL ACTIVE
// SBE CPT PREP TRACK v1.0 · AUDIO TRACK

Walk into the SBE exam already knowing the answers.

The Society of Broadcast Engineers Certified Production Technologist (CPT) is an entry-level, industry-recognized certification: 50 multiple-choice questions, open-book (notes and internet allowed), 70% to pass, no experience required. No RF, no FCC questions. This track preps the audio side using the systems you already run on the U-Rock® Network.

Straight talk: U-Rock® Academy is independent of the SBE. This track PREPARES you for the CPT exam; the certification itself is issued by the SBE — you apply and sit the exam at sbe.org. Passing our practice exam (35/50) means you are ready to book the real one.
