Studying has commenced toward the spring CAP testing.I think I am going to love the boot camp! I have been an admin/event coordinator/office manager, EA, and self-employed over the years. A couple of years ago I pared down my own business and returned to the regular 9-5 workforce. I enjoy the EA/HR work I am doing now but feel I am being underutilized. I found out about IAAP about a year ago and did some research into the exam. When I approached my boss with the idea to do the CAP she was all for it. So here we are. I am hoping the certification affirms what I know – provides me with renewed skills/ideas/way of thinking. In turn, I hope the certification proves my abilities to my superiors and I can have the autonomy to do more in the realm of my job description. If you aren’t learning you might as well be dying. I embrace the challenge and look forward to what doors may open from this journey.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards your certification! I have also signed up for the Spring CAP 2021 exam and a member of Marie Herman's study group. I own my own businesses and am looking at perhaps a career change in the future. My hope is that this certification will enable both personal and professional growth.
Good luck and happy studying.
