We are the International Association of Administrative Professionals®. Does this sound like you? Then join us! Many of your colleagues, representing over 50 businesses, universities, and not-for-profit organizations are reaping the benefits of IAAP® membership through the Keystone Chapter. You and your company should have the IAAP advantage too. Have you heard of the Certified Professional Secretary® (CPS®) and the Certified Administrative Professional® (CAP®) ratings? The CPS rating is the industry-recognized mark of excellence. It indicates to employers and colleagues the desire to succeed in a career, which is why more and more employers are choosing to recognize the rating. To attain the CPS rating, a candidate must meet certain educational and work experience requirements and pass the one-day, three-part examination, which is administered twice a year, in May and November by the Institute for Certification, a department of IAAP. Many schools offer college credits for achieving the CPS rating. Areas tested include finance and business law, office systems and administration, and management. The new Certified Administrative Professional (CAP) program covers an expanded scope of administrative skill and knowledge. The CAP designation builds on the existing CPS rating which includes sections on finance and business law, office systems and administration, management, and organizational planning. IAAP's Institute for Certification oversees and administers the CPS and CAP programs. A membership in IAAP is not a requirement for achieving the CPS/CAP, nor are the CPS/CAP ratings a requirement for membership in IAAP.
