Yup, I definitely tell people it won't be easy. This is a worthy exam after all. But you can definitely do it!!! How lovely to have such a supportive and encouraging boss. Let's go get this done!

It is wonderful that you work for people who value continuing education. Once you are certified, you will be in a great position to ask them to support your attendance at Summit and/or other IAAP conferences. Attending IAAP conferences is a great way to earn many recertification points at once. Best of luck with the exam.
