To assist you in preparing for the CLP Exam, view the CLP Exam References Listed by Domain.

The Certified Licensing Professional (CLP) examination is based on current knowledge of theory and practice of licensing, a broad field comprised of several distinct sub-specialties, as reflected by the five distinct domains of subject matter expertise, not all of which may be readily familiar to each and every otherwise qualified applicant.  Licensing is a dynamic, ever-changing field in which the rapid growth of technology, changes in applicable laws and regulations and changing precedents and practices informed by case law underscore the need for all applicants, even those who have been practicing in the field for several years, to actively prepare for the examination. 

The reference list, although not comprehensive, is provided to help in preparing for the examination.  Additional information of relevance to the examination may be found on the websites of organizations such as the Licensing Executives Society (LES) and the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM).
