If you're looking for ways to help you get ahead in the workplace, stop here. IAAP offers a rating of Certified Administrative Professional, or CAP for office professionals. The Certified Administrative Professional rating is the industry recognized standard of proficiency.  Specialties are also offered: Organizational Management and as of January 2012 the Technology Applications Specialty is available. For more information, visit: http://www.iaap-hq.org/certification

You'll improve your professional qualifications, increase your skills and knowledge and raise your self-esteem by taking and passing the exams. You may also obtain college credit and, according to the latest survey from OfficeTeam, get up to a 7 percent increase in salary.

The Institute for Certification believes that a top-level administrative professional should have basic knowledge of office systems, technology, office administration, and management, and know how to apply the principles of good human relations and communications. Some of the examinations are based on knowledge acquired by the office professional through formal education and informal reading. Employers also expect their admin to be thoroughly familiar with current techniques in office practice and procedures and aware of developments in office systems and technology.

Why wait? Do something for yourself and your career today. Get certified!  Visit IAAP Certification for registration and exam details.
