• CAA Qualification Exam Worksheet

Remember to qualify for your CAA Exam –

• you will need a minimum of two years on the job by the month of the exam (if you served as an Assistant prior to your current position – if a full-time Athletic Administrator - you may use that time as part of your two years). 
• Obtain the CAA Worksheet to see if you have enough points in the other categories (PLEASE reach out to anyone with their CAA or our Professional Development Committee for help with the worksheet as there are A LOT of things you will forget about that will qualify in getting you points, so we are more than happy to help you with this).
