This study could be used basic research to stabilize this certification program.

We concluded that Subjects such as , , should be erased in optional subjects list for lack of the fitness of CTE. We draw a conclusion that it would not be admitted to overlap with work experience of Consumer Expert certification to promote practical business capability of an acquisitor of CTE certification.The officially accepted departments of work experience for CTE certification would be confined to departments related to consumer behavior analysis, product planning, consumer research, etc over a period of a year or two.
