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 23 CAE hours.
The Fall 2019 CAE Study Course begins August 28.
You must submit your application to ASAE by Friday, September 27, 2019 if you are planning to take the December 6, 2019 exam.
