Hello, It would make my boss very happy if I would get CAP certified, so I've just recently applied and been approved to sit for the Fall 2019 CAP Exam. I was planning to take the test in 2018 but after a trip to Israel where I contracted E-coli disease and almost died, I had to postpone taking the test. Since by the grace of God I've survived and have almost regained full health (I've been left with kidney disease) I'm ready to get my mind off my health issues and focus on the goal of getting certified. I've joined Marie Herman's study group which I believe will be a big help toward my goal.

Wow, Darlene, happy you're still with us.  Best wishes, for your health, and your CAP goal.

Thank you for sharing your very personal story with us Darlene. I'm impressed by your resilience and determination to earn your CAP. Congratulations on taking this next step in your personal and professional development. Best wishes with your studies and know that we'll all be cheering with you when you add those letters behind your name!

Thank you for sharing your story Darlene and that by the Grace of God that you are still here. I wish you all the best in completing your CAP!

It's a great challenge to face such health issues, stare them down, and then continue on with life goals. It's a testament to your character that you are continuing. Let's get you those acronyms!

Darlene - May you have continued good health. Good luck with your goal in pursuing the CAP designation.


Linda L. Rolfe, CAP (Ret.), OM
