The Professional Administrative Certification of Excellence (PACE) is the American Society of Administrative Professional’s (ASAP) certification program. PACE is for administrative professionals who strive for continued education. Earning your PACE certification will broaden your knowledge, polish your expertise, and solidify your commitment to turning the position you have into the role that you want. There’s a reason professionals who earn their PACE are statistically more in demand by employers. In fact, certified administrative professionals earn more annually than their non-certified peers*.
