CERTIFICATION
Take this important step now for you and for your career. In today's ever-changing business environment, you need every advantage to stay on top. Earn the Certified Professional Secretary®(CPS®) rating or Certified Administrative Professional® (CAP®) rating through IAAP. Professional certification shows employers, clients and associates that you are committed as a professional. Certification is a mark of excellence that you carry with you everywhere you go.
Members and nonmembers have access to the Professional Certification section of the IAAP website. Here you will find the forms need to apply to take the CPS or CAP exams and much more information.
THE ACADEMY
Another benefit of certification is the opportunity to join The Academy. The Academy is similar to a college/university alumni association. To belong to The Academy the individual must hold an active CPS or CAP rating. Annual dues are $15 for IAAP members and $30 for nonmembers. The enrollment form can be found on the IAAP website under Professional Certification and then Academy.
Membership benefits include:

CPS and CAP holders are required to recertify every five years. Those who do not remain current through recertification have their rating marked inactive on the IAAP database and are no longer afforded the privileges of certification.
