The Certified Professional Secretary (CPS) credential is a universally recognized standard of achievement — the capstone of the secretarial profession. This course is designed to prepare you to take the Certified Professional Secretary Exam (CPS) administered by the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP). Join the more than 65,000 professionals who have earned this certification and start feeling the benefits for yourself! Some important reasons to get certified:
- Confidence to assume greater job responsibilities
- Potential career advancement and pay increases
- Greater respect from your employer and peers
- Emphasize your employability
The course is designed in three modules, just like the exam. Each module focuses on a specific topic and includes study materials, discussion groups and example test questions. Upon successful completion of the three modules, each student will receive a certificate of completion from the University of Georgia and 4.2 CEUs.
Looking to move beyond the CPS Certification? You can further your management skills and attain the Certified Administrative Professional (CAP) status.
