Typists and Word Processors

Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements

Certification or Licensing

There are no specific certifications available for typists and word processors, but the International Association of Administrative Professionals offers the certified administrative professional (CAP) designation that might be of interest. Certification is awarded to applicants who meet experience/education requirements and pass a rigorous exam covering a number of general secretarial-related topics. The association also offers a technology applications specialty designation to those who have already earned the CAP designation.
