We at IAAP offer two professional ratings for office professionals. The Certified Administrative Professional rating is the industry recognized standard of proficiency.
You'll improve your professional qualifications, increase your skills and knowledge and raise your self-esteem by taking and passing the exams. You may also obtain college credit and, according to the latest survey from OfficeTeam, get up to a 7 percent increase in salary.
The Institute for Certification believes that a top-level administrative professional should have basic knowledge of office systems, technology, office administration, and management, and know how to apply the principles of good human relations and communications. Some of the examinations are based on knowledge acquired by the office professional through formal education and informal reading. Employers also expect their admin to be thoroughly familiar with current techniques in office practice and procedures and aware of developments in office systems and technology.
Why wait? Do something for yourself and your career today. Get certified!

The Key to Continued Professionalism
Professional certification attests to the competence of those in a given profession. To ensure maintenance of these high standards, periodic reassessment is used to verify that competencies are maintained. For IAAP certification, that reassessment is accomplished through a program of recertification.
Recertification is required every five years to keep their professional certification status. Points are earned in the categories of continuing Education, Other Certifications, and Leadership. A total of 60 points are required every five years.
The IAAP certification makes a powerful statement of both meeting initial high standards and maintaining those standards through recertification.
All individuals who applied for certification January 1, 1988, or later are required to recertify.
Individuals not keeping current through recertification will have their rating marked inactive and are no longer eligible to use the ratings.
A certificate, valid for five years, and a recertification pin will be issued each time an individual is recertified.
