Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ACVREP CATIS exam format?
The ACVREP certification handbook lists 131 multiple-choice / multiple-select questions and 200 minutes. Its parenthetical hour conversion differs, so confirm the scheduled duration with ACVREP. The 100-question, 3-hour Webassessor description applies to ACVREP’s separate practice exam, not the certification exam.
How is the CATIS exam scored?
Criterion-referenced. ACVREP sets the passing standard and does not publish a fixed percentage. Domain-level scores are released only to candidates who fail; those who pass receive a pass result without subscores.
What are the CATIS eligibility requirements?
Three categories. Category 1: Bachelor's or higher in AT for the Blind/Visually Impaired (or bachelor's plus a university ATBVI certificate). Category 2: education plus 1,000-12,000 work hours depending on background. Category 3: high school diploma plus a year-long comprehensive ATBVI program plus 1,500 hours of recent experience. All require a 350-hour supervised internship (280 direct service) under a current CATIS.
How much does the CATIS certification cost?
Approximately $755 total: $140 eligibility application, $490 exam registration (covers up to two exam attempts), and $125 initial certification fee. An optional 100-question practice exam costs $65.
How long is CATIS certification valid?
Two years. Recertification can be earned through continuing-education points (tracked by the ACVREP CATIS point calculator) or by retaking the recertification exam at $350 plus the recertification application fee.
What screen readers does the CATIS cover?
All major screen readers: JAWS (Vispero, commercial), NVDA (NV Access, free/open-source), VoiceOver (built into iOS and macOS), TalkBack (Android), and Narrator (Windows). Candidates should know the strengths, navigation models, and use cases of each.
Does the CATIS test web accessibility?
Yes. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1/2.2 principles (POUR: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust), conformance levels, alt text, ARIA basics, and color contrast are part of the Assessment and Configuration domains.
How does CATIS differ from a general assistive technology credential?
CATIS is specifically for AT serving people with visual impairments. RESNA ATP is broader (mobility, AAC, learning AT). CATIS focuses on screen readers, magnification, refreshable braille, OCR, and accessibility settings for blind/low-vision users.
