Become a Certified Accounting Paraprofessional (CAP)

The Certified Accounting Paraprofessional (CAP) license enables you to place "CAP" behind your name and communicate your accounting knowledge, skill, experience, and ethics to employers or clients. The license distinguishes you from your competition, builds credibility, validates knowledge, demonstrates skill, verifies experience, and confirms professional ethics.

Each course may be substituted by an equivalent accredited course. Upon approval, the course is waived but you must pass the exam.
