CASP Application Deadline: March 22, 2012

There is no single professional degree or program that prepares individuals to become auxiliary services managers. The Certified Auxiliary Services Professional (CASP) gives aspiring professionals a means to develop and demonstrate their knowledge and core competencies and provides career development guidance to individuals preparing for more senior responsibilities. Be among the industry’s best and brightest – become a CASP today!

What is CASP?

The Certified Auxiliary Services Professional (CASP) program was designed by experts in the field of auxiliary services, certification, and test development. It attests that individuals have met a standard for auxiliary/ancillary services professionals, including competencies which, in the eyes of their peers, are necessary to perform the functions normally accomplished by a Director of Auxiliary/Ancillary Services.
 
The CASP designation will be awarded to those professionals that meet eligibility criteria and pass a standardized examination of knowledge in key auxiliary service areas.
 
Content covered on the CASP Examination was determined in 2010 by a Practice Analysis of auxiliary/ancillary services professionals and includes:
• Management
• Leadership
• Marketing, Communications and Business Relations
• Student Services
• Operational Areas: Food Services, Bookstores, Card Services, Commercial/Retail, Physical Facilities
 
CASP is made possible by the support of the NACAS Education Foundation and many dedicated volunteers.
