In reading all the posts it sounds like the CPS/CAP exams can be used either as a replacement for a degree or as a starting step towards a degree and that it helps in some companies to get promoted. Sounds like a worthwhile exam for some, while it still will not help others at all. But like any self-education pursuit, it is how each individual feels about it that marks it's importance.
To be honest, I haven't heard - or seen - that many admins working for the government getting this certificate/credentialing. And as everyone knows, the government is not run like any other company really, so most of the classes (including my business management classes) don't really help in the daily job. Every contract entered into by the government has to go through so many committees and approval steps that the admin is furthest from the actual person signing.
And it sounds like those that the CAP or CPS has helped received theirs a while ago and it helped them at that time. Is there anyone who has received it recently or received a promotion/raise in the last year or so because of having their CPS or CAP? Are companies still looking for CPS or CAP's for their admins or are they looking for different certifications (maybe MOUS or other computer types?) or degrees?
