CAE Study Group
We typically offer two study groups annually to help applicants prepare for the CAE exam.
The Certified Association Executive (CAE) credential is the marker of a committed association professional who has demonstrated the wide range of knowledge essential to manage an association in today’s challenging environment.
Getting Your CAE CAE Renewal Requirement
Looking to earn your Certified Association Executive (CAE) certification? Join our peer-driven CAE Study Group to help prepare for an upcoming CAE exam. The study sessions are candidate-driven with volunteer CAE Mentors on each call to provide guidance on challenging questions as well as prep tips. They take place virtually on Tuesdays from 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. PST and are recorded in the instance you miss a week - we simply ask that you participate in at least half of the ten sessions offered.
