RPLS & S-I-T STUDY GROUPS
The RPLS and SIT exam process can be a minefield, but now candidates no longer have to cross it alone.
The RPLS/SIT Study Groups sub-committee at TSPS, chaired by Jake Lupher, RPLS #6606, provides settings where paraprofessionals can be equipped to take the next step in their careers. The sub-committee organizes study groups in three metro regions: Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin.
