CTV is a clerical testing consortium designed to reduce the duplication of testing effort that exists among nearby jurisdictions that test the same candidates for very similar knowledge, skills, and abilities. The test was developed by CPS and consortium members and includes both entry and advanced clerical subtests. The original CTV consortium was formed five years ago when the County of Sacramento, the City of Sacramento, and the Sacramento Superior and Municipal Court system joined CPS in the venture. The Sacramento Libraries, now a joint-powers authority, joined one year later. The venture is a winning proposition for all participants.
Applicants take only one test that is accepted for many jobs by all members of the consortium.
Candidates mail in their CTV Registration Form to CPS or schedule on-line. CPS arranges for the Test Site, the Proctors and the Test Materials. This test is administered weekly at CPS and on two Saturdays each month. CPS schedules and tests the candidates and provides score certificates to the candidates. Certificates are mailed out every Friday.
