The CCAP program builds on the skills and knowledge that administrative professionals already have in general business education. An applicant wishing to register as a student must be a member of the AAP before they can enrol in the CCAP program.

CCAP certificate holders must remain a member in good standing of the AAP to retain the CCAP designation. They must also renew their professional designation every three years through a certification renewal process.

The CCAP certificate is achieved by meeting the required five years' work experience and demonstrating a proven mastery of core competencies compiled by employers across the country as being crucial to the role of an advanced-level office professional. The educational component of the CCAP designation is met by completing seven courses available at accredited universities and colleges across Canada. Students have seven years to complete their program requirements, starting from the date of their first course.
