Why professionals choose CCPStudy
Everything you need to pass
The CCP® exam combines 119 technical questions across 7 domains with a written memo. Most candidates fail on structure, not knowledge. Our program fixes both — including real CCP practice exam questions.
Built for the 2026 Blueprint
AACE rebuilt the CCP exam around a new weighted blueprint in May 2026. Our study guide and lessons are already restructured to match — so you study what the exam actually tests.
Domain-Wise Video Lessons
On-demand video lessons mapped to the exam domains and keyed to AACE's “Skills & Knowledge of Cost Engineering” (6th Edition) — from cost estimation and cost control to scheduling and contracting.
3 Full-Length Simulations
Three timed, 120-question exam simulations — 5 hours each, just like the real thing — with a results page showing every correct and wrong answer, plus a downloadable formula sheet.
Memo Writing Mastery
Domain 7 of the exam is a written memo — and it trips up more candidates than any question. Get step-by-step memo guidelines plus 3 real sample memos, so you know exactly what graders expect.
180 Days, Study Anywhere
Six months of 24/7 access matches AACE's exam registration window. Our LMS works on any device, any timezone — no fixed class timings, ever.
Exceptional Value
CCP Complete Self-Paced Preparation is $590, one-time — exam-focused preparation from an AACE-Approved Provider at a price that makes sense.
