Recertification: The Key to Continued Professionalism
By earning IAAP certification, you have received the most prestigious designation offered to administrative professionals. The achievement of the CAP rating is both a validation of current skills and a commitment to the life-long learning process.
In 1985, the Institute for Certification and IAAP Board of Directors approved the concept of recertification and effective January 1, 1988, the mandatory recertification program was started. Everyone applying for certification since January 1, 1988, is required to recertify every five years from the month/year certification is attained.
A certificate, valid for five years, and a recertification pin will be issued each time an individual is recertified.
