The Blueprints of Knowledge
The Blueprints of Knowledge are the definitive content framework for the IQCB examinations. They the nine competency domains and the specific knowledge areas within each. If you are preparing for the examinations, this is where you begin.
The Blueprints define what every IQCB-certified professional is expected to know, from the history of EEG to the evidentiary standards that govern its use in court. Updated periodically to reflect developments in the field.
