| The continuing education of educational office professionals
is essential to cope with rapidly changing conditions in the profession.
The National Association of Educational Office Professionals (NAEOP)
provides the opportunity for members to enhance their professional
competencies through academic programs, conferences, and institutes.
These incentive activities enable the members to take progressive
steps to their desired professional growth level.
Successful completion of a NAEOP approved program qualifies the
member for one or more of the following Professional Standards Program
certificates:
- Basic
- Associate Professional
- Advanced I
- Advanced II
- Advanced III
|
- Associate Degree
- Bachelor Degree
- Master Degree
- Doctoral Degree
|
Each certificate is based on requirements in three areas: education,
experience, and professional activity.
Members of NAEOP may apply for admission to the Professional Standards
Program. NAEOP encourages membership in local and state associations
for educational office professionals, but it cannot mandate such
membership. Graduation from high school (or the equivalent) is required.
Filing dates for PSP applications are as follows:
- January 15
- May 15
- September 15
Enrollment
A member may enroll in the program at any level. Membership must
be continuous while pursuing a PSP certificate. For complete requirements,

State and local PSP Chairmen are available for assistance in guiding
you through the certification process. Contact the PSP Registrar
for the name of the state or local chairman in your area.
Applicants are notified as soon as all requirements are met. All
certificates are mailed to qualifiers within four weeks after the
deadline, and their school district administrators are notified
of their accomplishments. A PSP banquet is held during the NAEOP
annual conference to recognize members who have earned a PSP certificate
or the distinction of CEOE.
