About the course

Certified Professional Secretary courses offered at Lone Star College–Tomball are designed as refresher classes for individuals planning to take the CPS exam to attain the CPS rating. Class curriculum is based on the CPS Examination Review Series published by Prentice Hall.

Registrants should have previous knowledge of the topics covered – this course reviews the subjects included in the CPS exam and gives you an opportunity to ask questions of an expert in the field.
