A Certified Packaging Professional (CPP) is an individual who has earned a professional certification in the field of packaging. This certification is awarded to validate a person’s knowledge, skills, and expertise in packaging-related areas. The CPP designation signifies a commitment to excellence and a high level of competence in the packaging industry.
This book has been updated in Sept 2023. The CPP multiple choice exam has a coverage which is highly extensive – in fact so extensive that I wouldn’t recommend taking the exam until you are fully drilled on the relevant topics. You know what, I personally think Soroka’s book is excellent – it covers all the essential information that you need to know to tackle most exam topics, plus many more practical information for on the job use outside of the exam, all included in a 500+ page text book. Many CPP candidates are experienced professional who have been in the field of packaging for years, that they know most of the practical how-tos, and all they need is to learn the principles, concepts and science that are behind the practical techniques. 500+ pages worth of information is quite overwhelming for these busy professionals. Some tried to have their focus on the review questions for each chapter, and as a result they found themselves missing quite many items that were in fact not covered by the chapter review questions. We believe that you need to get yourself truly familiar with the most important information by going through sufficiently focused revision. This is where we fill the gap – you may think of our product as the unofficial supplement to Soroka’s book, or you may view it as a standalone module with a focus on building up your exam readiness.For the purpose of exam preparation you need to plan your study into a 3-stage process. At the first stage you review the official Soroka text. Give yourself one to two months to go through the text chapter by chapter. Then, at the second stage you go through the chapter review questions. Finally, at the third stage you use our ExamFOCUS study notes to drill on the key topics for the best possible knowledge coverage prior to taking the exam. As an effective learning aid implemented in the format of study notes, the ExamFOCUS CPP Study Notes package is designed to present information in an easy-to-understand, conversational format. Notes are well-written, technically accurate and completely representative of the key information covered by the exam domains.
