  • QUESTIONAIRE ON CCI PREPARATION / TESTING



    Walter & Group............

    Jim Valle and I have a burning interest in doing what we can to assist & improve the Casting Instructor program.

    He has come up with a carefully thought out list of questions. 

    Any of you who have gone through the CCI process can answer (even if you have subsequently achieved MCCI status.)

    Signing it is optional.
