Going for the CAP! https://www.iaap-hq.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1315384 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 10:31:43 GMT Tue, 6 Dec 2016 12:31:57 GMT Copyright © 2016 IAAP Going for the CAP! https://www.iaap-hq.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1315384 https://www.iaap-hq.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1315384 My journey in deciding to take the CAP test began earlier this year.  I have always desired to find some sort of viable ADMIN support groups, and, for whatever reason, I never stumbled upon IAAP until earlier this year.  But when I found the IAAP website and learned about the certification, I knew immediately I wanted to go for it.  I have been an Exec Asst for 10+ years having stumbled into the position after working in the Computer Operations field for 13 years. Many years ago, I would not have seen myself working as an executive assistant AND enjoying it so immensely.  I have been successful thus far but really wanted to challenge myself and make sure I learned all of the "right" ways to do my job. I was assigned additional supporting staff to manage and was being stretched in my role. Now was the time!

 

In addition, I never finished college and my youngest graduated college in December last year. I always felt I would go back to college and get my degree...but when I really contemplated jumping into a 4-year degree, I realized I wasn't ready. Preparing for the CAP test has given me the confidence in myself to press forward and make this happen.  I am excited for all that I am learning and if I don't pass on the first run, I will not give up...because it's about the JOURNEY!!
