Hi, guys. I hope that someone can be of assistance. I'm having a hard time finding a reputable company/organization that will teach an administrative assistant course geared towards the Professional Administrative Certification of Excellence or Certified Administrative Professional exam. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found the materials from ASAP for PACE to be sufficient for the certification. Personally, I don't think I needed to go through most of it and would have just passed blind based on my 10 YEO. If you're new to the field it could be helpful though.

You're welcome! Happy to answer any questions if you have them. I got certified this year so it's all pretty fresh.

Where do you go to get licensed? Is it an exam that you find online?

Oh wow. Too be honest, I had no idea this was a thing. I have many years of experience being an AA but never thought to explore licensing. I’ll look into it! Thank you for sharing!
