	My WHY and the change	0		A. Wilson	My original journey began as an attempt to receive an educational incentive on my job. After being told I could not receive an educational incentive based on educational accomplishments, I searched for certification programs for administrative personnel and found the CAP several years ago. After reviewing the information for this certification, I realized this program was a "validation" for administrative professionals. This is a way to show others, we know what we know. At the point, my thoughts changed from getting a certification to increase my pay to getting THIS certification that shows others how good we are at what I do. The CAP designation shows just how essential administrative professionals are in all career fields and at all levels. by A. Wilson Thursday, December 15, 2022

I hope you find them helpful. For those of you who may be wondering about Virtual Summits 2019 or 2020, they should be added already to your portal. This was done as a courtesy during Covid to make things a little easier for our valued members. Thanks for your attention and please reach out to certification@iaap-hq.org if you need assistance with anything. Take care. Tracey by B. Friend Monday, November 7, 2022
	CAP Exam Waiting for Results - why does it take so long???	3		D. Bullis (Acholes)	As I've said many times before, today's certification candidate has is much shorter notification time. Back when I sat for the exam, the 1980s, you took the exam in May and results came out in August or sometimes September. Granted, the exam was very different at the time and one part had to be hand graded. Exams were not graded until all exams were in from all over the world. Thank you for today's computer world! by C. Hawkins Thursday, October 27, 2022

	Is Study.com or Mometrix any good for studying?	8		C. Cabral	Thank you!! I was a little concerned that it may be as their tests seemed completely off track. Am on your course which has been excellent! So will stick with that. Exam booked for 25 October! by C. Cabral Tuesday, September 13, 2022
	Body of Knowledge for CAP and PACE	6		T. Hanson	The PACE exam is definitely not a certification (though ASAP implies that it is certified, it is not). There is obviously overlap between the two exams. You would at least want to pick up IAAP's CAP Exam Study Guide as a starter material. If you have not started preparing for the exam yet, honestly, 8 weeks is a very tight turnaround. It can be done, but you should be prepared to study a good 8-12 hours a week going forward. If you would like information about my Fall (or Spring) study group, feel free to reach out to me in PM. You could still join, but just as an fyi, you would have a fair amount of reading to do to catch up. It's very doable, but it just requires commitment and time management to achieve. Good luck! by M. Herman Tuesday, August 16, 2022

	Fall 2022 CAP Exam	9		K. Walker	I know you can do this.

Fantastic! by M. Herman Thursday, August 11, 2022
