NEPPA is dedicated to offering the highest quality educational programs to its membership. All programs are CEU accredited on topics related to management, customer service, graphics, creativity, and more. NEPPA pays the certification fees.
MAS/CAS Certification & Recertification
In order to further support the professionalism of NEPPA members, NEPPA will reimburse for the following charges and fees for NEPPA member companies. A maximum of two employees per year from each NEPPA member company will be entitled to each of these subsidies:
1. One half of the $75.00 fee for recertification of the CAS or MAS certificate
2. $75.00 towards the $225.00 fee for the CAS or MAS certification test.
These subsidies are both reimbursements requiring a cancelled check or receipt for the recertifications and proof of successful passing of either the CAS or MAS certification tests.
Note: Life Certification exempts designees from the recertification requirements. Existing CAS or MAS certificate holders who are 60 years of age or more can achieve Life Certification. Please visit www.ppai.org for further information and the Life Certification form.
