	HR Verification - Reposted	2		D. Behler	Thank you Holly. I'll repost this where the question was first asked, to make sure she gets the answer. by D. Behler Wednesday, May 23, 2018
	April 2018 Test Results?	15		S. DeJesus	Sonya-Charie... Don't forget the wine... Chocolate and wine! They could possibly cure almost anything! :-) by R. Dorton Friday, May 18, 2018
	Studying for the CAP Exam Online	6		S. Plarske	I also took this course, years ago. Unfortunately, it wasn't that helpful to me. At the time I took it, I had been an admin already for many years, so maybe that's why it wasn't helpful to me. I believe that if you're a seasoned admin, this course will probably be basic to you. Anyway, that's just my 2 cents. And oh, I spent $99 on it. by P. Washington Wednesday, May 16, 2018
	Q on total current CAP holders-working with my recruiting team to include C	11		C. Boyer	Also, if you are employed by the State of Tennessee, it is a recognized personnel development certification and successful CAP candidates receive an automatic increase. the State of Indiana recognizes the CAP on their Privately Certified Registry https://www.in.gov/pla/3931.htm which provides consumers with information about certified home builders, home remodelers, and CAPs. This is linked from the site for professional licensing and registries for accounting, medical, education, nursing, and many other professions. These state recognitions are led by individuals within the state. by D. Behler Tuesday, May 15, 2018
	Why Credentialing is Important	2		D. Behler	Thanks for sharing the video. I shared the article with admins at my company - http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/3746538 and encouraged them to consider taking the test in the fall. I was shocked when it stated that only about 5900 were certified though. by C. Blair Wednesday, May 9, 2018

	Best of Luck to the April 2018 CAP Exam Test Takers!!!	8		M. Herman	Good luck to everyone taking their exams! Get a good night's sleep, don't cram the night before and all those other wonderful things Marie will tell you in preparation. You've got this! “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go! by T. Robertson Sunday, April 8, 2018
	CAP Exam Resources for Sept 2017 Exam	11		J. Fox	I'm not sure why the LSAT questions (a test for law students) would be relevant to the CAP? How did that help?Marie by M. Herman Thursday, April 5, 2018
	Overwhelming Reading	3		M. Archdale	Hi Megan. The additional books are not required, though of course IAAP does recommend them. Honestly, there's no two ways about it, the test requires a mix of real world experience and old school style education. You may be able to find some alternatives that would work for you better, such as youtube videos, but one way or the other, you need to learn the concepts covered in the body of knowledge. As an fyi, I'm offering some free webinars in mid-May through early June on Certification Options for Administrative Professionals. I go through several major certifications for admins and discuss what's involved, the costs, what prep should be done, recertification requirements, etc. Keep an eye on this forum, as I'll post registration info in a few weeks. As my colleagues graciously indicated, I do offer a CAP study group. If you are interested in learning more about that, you can drop me an email at iaap@mrhenterprises.com. Marie by M. Herman Thursday, April 5, 2018
	Good Luck to the March 2017 Test Takers!!!	13		M. Herman	Hello,Please help f you can...I started the practice exam, however, I did not submit and it timed out. I cannot get back to submit or start over - what do I do? by J. Mapp Monday, April 2, 2018
	April 2018 CAP Exam Cram March 3 and 10, 2018	6		M. Herman	No, I don't plan to have another CAP exam cram before the April exam. Right now the only way to get access is the full study group, but at this point, that would be a lot of recordings to listen to. :) by M. Herman Saturday, March 24, 2018
	March 2016 Test Takers - How Did It Go???	13		M. Herman	It's a worthy certification. It does require both book learning and on the job experience. The level of "hardness" just depends on how well you know the topics being asked about. It will vary by person. by M. Herman Wednesday, March 7, 2018
	Very Exciting News about CAP	35		M. Mahoney, CAE	This is fantastic news! are there any considerations to make this a national certification for all states? by H. Murray Tuesday, March 6, 2018
	Registration Open for April 2018 CAP Exam Study Group	21		M. Herman	HI Edgar, I know you emailed me, but I wanted to also respond here in case anyone else sees this. Anyone can jump in late on my study groups, though it's a fair amount of work. I am also offering a special exam cram this Saturday and next for those that didn't want to do the full study group. If anyone is considering the September exam, they should not sign up for either of these, but instead wait for my September group. I've had enough requests about it, I'll likely open registration on it shortly. The full Sept. 2018 study group will start in June. by M. Herman Monday, February 26, 2018
	Online 4-week Microsoft PowerPoint Study Group Starts February 12, 2018	0		M. Herman	I have an online Microsoft PowerPoint study group starting on February 12 and going through March 5, 2018. This four week long program will prepare students for the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification exam, though it is not required that students be planning to sit for certification to participate in the group. Participation on the live sessions meets the requirements for 8 (yes, eight!) CAP recertification points. In addition, if you do decide to take the exam, each MOS test taken earns 5 CAP recertification points. To learn more and sign up, go here: http://mrhenterprises.com/MOSStudyGroup.shtml The FAQs on that page should answer most of your questions, but if you have more questions, just drop me an email at iaap@mrhenterprises.com. Why not check off this certification from your professional development bucket list and earn some CAP recertification points at the same time? Marie by M. Herman Monday, January 29, 2018
	My Path to CAP	7		L. Saenz	Good Luck, Linda. I recall us meeting at the IAAP in New Orleans last July. You will pass with flying colors and this will open even more doors for you. by C. Mednick Thursday, January 25, 2018
	CAP was the Right Choice for Me	8		B. Snyder	I agree with M. Herman's post about not ruling out college though...I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in English at age 50 so it is really never too late! Although I had been slowly obtaining my Bachelor's degree at night, the attainment of my CAP in 2005 spurred me on to get on with finishing that BA already! And I was able to "double-dip" with credits--I received CAP recert credits (the second time around) for some of my college courses and the university gave me some credit for obtaining the CAP. by C. Mednick Thursday, January 25, 2018
