Wanna Get Ahead?

Looking for ways to help you get ahead in the workplace? Then stop here.

IAAP offers one professional rating with areas of specialty for office professionals. The base rating is the Certified Administrative Professional, the CAP rating, and we currently offer a specialty in Organizational Management, the OM (more specialties will be added as curricula becomes available).

The Certified Administrative Professional rating is the industry recognized standard of proficiency.

Professional certification shows employers and clients that you are committed as a professional. Certification is a mark of excellence that you carry with you everywhere you go.

Certification provides opportunities for enhancement during your career:

Job Advancement - certification gives you a competitive edge for promotion and hiring.

Professional Skills - you will learn more about office operations and build skills by studying for and taking the CAP/CAP-OM exam.

Salary - A recent IAAP membership profile study shows that CAP/CAP-OM holders earn an average of $2,228 more per year than those who do not have certification.

Esteem - Attaining certification demonstrates to your employer and yourself that you are a professional.

College Credit - Many colleges and universities offer course credit for studying for a CPS or CAP-OM exam.

Certification Conference - Receive the benefit of annual state-of-the-art educational networking with other professionals in the administrative field.
