Canadian Certified Administrative Professional Program CCAP

Having a professional certification shows pride in yourself and in your career. It lets others know that you have expertise in your field and are committed to keeping your skills up to date.

Our designation, recognized in the professional environment, can lead to greater challenges, opportunities, and financial remuneration to those who achieve certification.

The CCAP designation is a university level certification.

PROGRAM COMPONENTS

Education

The AAP administers the CCAP program, but the courses are provided by Canadian accredited universities and colleges across the country. We have partnered with several Canadian universities and colleges and have pre-approved their applicable courses and the Mount is one of these.

Courses cover the five Centres of Expertise. Seven courses required to complete the CCAP program consisting of four compulsory courses and three elective courses. Courses are typically available in a variety of formats such as in-class, distance education, and online. Courses can be taken in any order.

Experience

You do not have to have a certain number of years of experience to enrol in the CCAP program. Experience can be accumulated while you are working through the program. However, to be awarded the certificate you must have a minimum of five years’ work experience or three years’ experience if you have a Bachelor of Administration. Work experience must be verified by a supervisor/manager.
