Before you enroll in an IOMA/TAPN AP Certification Program:
- First, decide which certification program is right for you — Accredited Payables Manager (APM — for department heads), Accredited Payables Specialist (APS — for key AP Staff), or Accredited Payables Department (APD — for the department as a whole).
- If you are a manager, determine if you want to get your entire department certified. Give us 7 minutes and we’ll give you your AP IQ. Each of your staff can take the 30-question AP IQ test too!
- Next, decide whether completing a self study or attending an IOMA/TAPN AP Certification Program would best meet your specific needs. In either case, you may opt to take the (optional) certification exam at the end of the program or online, at your convenience.
- If you choose, self-study, decide whether the online training program (www.cognistar.com/iomaaponlinetrainingpromo) would be helpful to you.
| Fast fact: According to IOMA research, individuals holding certification earn salaries of up to 8.9% more than their uncertified colleagues! |
If the IOMA/TAPN AP Certification Program would better meet your needs, decide which would be most appropriate for you — attending a program from the training course schedule below or having the entire IOMA AP Department training faculty visit your facility.
