Overview
Mission
To equip administrative professionals with the awareness, knowledge, and community needed to thrive in the emerging technology age, lead organizational change, and shape the future of work.
What it reported doing in 2024
Cap examination and certification: the certified administrative professional (cap) is a credential designed specifically for the administrative professional. The cap exam is designed from a "blueprint" called the body of knowledge. The test covers six topic areas, or domains, and breaks the information down into detailed, measurable performance outcomes. Each domain represents a specific percentage of the exam and is based on a job task analysis. Domains include: (1) organizational culture and leadership; (2) business communication and deliverables; (3) software, data, and the internet; (4) office and records management; (5) meeting, event, and project management; and (6) operational functions. Exams are held in the spring and fall. There were 611 annual test registrations during the fiscal year. Cap certification requires ongoing education and/or retesting. 729 cap professionals were recertified during the fiscal year.
