	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

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
