CAP designees who retire from the profession prior to their recertification due date and do not wish to continue the recertification process may transition to the CAP (Ret.) designation.
This is not an active certification but allows CAP holders to use the classification, indicating they were CAP certified and are now retired from the workforce.
To qualify, you must:
- Be fully retired from the
administrative profession including part-time, business consultant, or
independent contractor.
- Have recertified at least
once and be within your recertification cycle
If you are interested in obtaining your CAP (Ret.) please fill out the below application and you will be prompted to pay the one-time administrative fee of $175/IAAP members or $285/non-members. Once your application has been reviewed and approved you will receive an e-mail from our digital certificate vendor with your new CAP (Ret.) certificate.
