The Certified Association Executive (CAE) Program is a series of five graduate level courses based on 44 key competencies of association management. All courses are delivered online and facilitated by senior Certified Association Executives. The courses are structured to reflect activities and processes that typically occur in nonprofit organisations. Upon successful completion of the five courses students have the option to sit the CAE examination to earn the CAE designation.

 

The CAE Designation can also be earned through a process of Prior Learning Assessment Review (PLAR) which takes into account previous education, nonprofit sector experience and association participation and contribution through the submission of a comprehensive portfolio. AuSAE members can apply to submit their portfolio for assessment. Should the applicant demonstrate that they are competent in the 44 key competencies to the satisfaction of the review panel of senior Certified Association Executives and completion of the CAE examination, they may be granted a PLAR for their CAE designation.
