This is the second edition of the study guide which has been updated and greatly expanded to cover the PARCA CPAS 2014 requirements.
The study guides refer to additional resources, i.e.
self-study CD's and
books, which can be purchased separately from OTech, and if you don't have any, or a very limited background in this subject matter are highly recommended. If you have taken any formal training, done self-study, or have experience in this subject matter, you would not necessarily need these additional resources.

www.otpedia.com, by providing them a tool to test their newly acquired skills and enhance their learning experience. The guide can be used in a peer-to-peer, team or classroom setting and/or form the basis for individual learning.
