CAP AND CPS

The Administrative Technology Department takes pride in its relationship with the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP). We are a current associate member of the Golden Corridor Chapter.

Harper College has served as a testing site for the Certified Professional Secretary^®and Certified Administrative Professional^® Exams since the 1970s. The exams, sponsored by the International Association of Administrative Professionals, are offered the first Friday and Saturday of May and the first Friday and Saturday of November. Many of our department’s classes can qualify for recertification points for the CPS^® and CAP^®. The State of Illinois ranks fifth in the nation in number of active CPS holders; as of November 2005, Illinois had over 1200 active CPS holders.

We offer four classes to prepare you to take the CPS/CAP^® Exams:

OFC263 Accounting (CPS^®)
OFC264 Office Administration and Communication (CPS^®)
OFC265 Office Technology (CPS^®)
OFC266 Management (CPS^®)

The classes are online, offering you the flexibility of 24/7 access to meet your professional goal of achieving the CAP/CPS designation.

CPS^® and CAP^® Information Sessions are held at the beginning of each semester. For more information, contact Peg Smith at 847-925-6351 or psmith@harpercollege.edu.
