CTA- what it takes?

Editor's Notes

  1. Hi My name is Johann. I’m on my journey to CTA, it’s a long and expensive journey. I enjoy every minute but was always wondering: What did it take existing CTAs to pass the review board. People tell you, you need to think like an architect, you need experience, you have to study hard. It’s very expensive. Did you know that most people who are starting their journey to CTA never finish it? Todays presentation I will give you an indication what it takes to succeed.
  2. Everybody can do it, it’s a matter of time, money and dedication.
