Certification: Certified Administrative Professional (CAP)
10502 NW Ambassador Drive, PO Box 20404, Kansas City, MO 94195-0404
IAAP is excited to launch the CAP (ip), or Certified Administrative Professional in progress. It is designed for students who graduate from an office professional program with a 2-year degree and don't yet have the necessary years of professional experience. Aside from demonstrating their competence, students who earn the CAP (ip) enter the job market showcasing their desire to continue their learning and eventually sit for the full CAP. The CAP (ip) will help them stand out in a crowded job market, get a jump start on their career, and earn the necessary work experience to earn their full credential.
