TSAE CAE Study Course
TSAE offers a Study Course, sponsored by Visit Austin, twice a year to help professionals prepare for the Certified Association Executive (CAE) exam. An experienced CAE leads the discussion as the group explores the nine (9) domains of association management and works through sample exam questions. Participants can also receive audio recordings of the sessions. It is a great way to ask questions, find study partners and earn 22 CAE hours.
The Spring 2020 CAE Study Course began on February 5.
You must submit your application to ASAE by Friday, February 21, 2020 if you are planning to take the May 1, 2020 exam.
