Suitable tests for CCET / CPT3A / AAC / DPRW

The following tests are a selection of popular purchases and have been confirmed by our tutors as suitable for the different courses outlined below.

These tests are available from the Dyslexia Action Shop. As a Real Training delegate, you can purchase these through the Study Purchase Scheme at the Dyslexia Action Shop with a 10% discount, if required.

If you plan to purchase a test, it is worth considering whether you intend to further your studies with another course, and selecting tests that are suitable for both.

If you are studying CPT3A, for example, it is imperative that your tests for AAC are suitable for assessing Access Arrangements, and we recommend that you choose your two tests required for CCET with this in mind.

For guidance on tests required for our Dyslexia Professional Report Writing (DPRW) module, please see the information further down the page.
