Prepping for the Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician Exam 

The C-DET Certification is a nationally recognized diploma for dryer exhaust cleaning. The best way to prepare for the test is by obtaining a C-DET manual and working through the material. Some test preppers do well-studying solo or in a group. CISA (The chimney safety institute of America) offers workshops and test review sessions for those who learn in a hands-on setting.  

Three Ways to Get Prepared for Your C-DET Exam: 

  • CISA two-day workshop– You will learn in-depth lessons on proper dryer cleaning practices, vent testing, duct rerouting, and more.
  • The CISA online review- This timed online practice test will simulate what to expect for your C-DET exam and build efficient test-taking skills. This is ideal for people who study better alone. 
  • Attend an in-person exam review: After reviewing your manual, attend an exam review for a recap of the manual and get answers from licensed instructors. The CSIA tech center holds studies in Indiana.
