DHS will provide online training for that . Three required courses and 3 advanced trusted tester training courses (Self-paced). For each course you need to pass the exam. After you finish all the courses, there is a another final certification exam too which you need to pass it with 90% score to get the certification from DHS.
You need to call or email OAST to register for the upcoming training programs.

So, Shiva, does DHS OAST provide training for that, or is it just professional experience and self-study, using the materials on their site, that is supposed to prepare you for taking the exam?
