Why earn your CAPP?

“This certification serves as a cornerstone for demonstrating a comprehensive base of knowledge about our industry. No other credential comes close. You wouldn’t get surgery from someone who is not an M.D. or get in a plane flown by someone without a pilot’s license. When the position matters, the credential matters and this certification is the definitive credential in our industry.”
