Includes CAE practice exam!

Design your study plan and prepare effectively to earn the prestigious Certified Association Executive (CAE) credential. Use the included CAE practice exam, composed of official questions retired from the CAE item bank, to test your readiness.

We combined quality material and study questions adapted from the predecessor Association Societies Alliance CAE Study Guide and study groups with the new practice test questions and other content to produce an ASAE CAE study guide fit for individuals, study groups, and preparation courses.

Highlights of the CAE Study Guide 2020 include

• CAE exam content outline
• easy-to-use readiness self-assessment, including ways to identify your learning preferences
• suggestions for mapping a study plan, including elements of a plan and ideas for scheduling reading and preparation across a timeline that suits you
• study options
• suggested readings by CAE content domain
• study and discussion questions by CAE content domain
• key terms and glossary
• ideas for tackling areas of difficulty
• last-minute prep and test tips
• the practice exam

Use the CAE Study Guide as a complement and guide to your preparation or as a resource for a study group or course you may be facilitating.

Note: A copy of the CAE Study Guide is provided to participants of the CAE Kickoff course as part of their registration. 

The ASAE CAE Study Guide is independent of the CAE certification program, which is governed by the CAE Commission, an independent certifying body of ASAE. CAE Commission volunteers and CAE staff are not involved in developing any preparatory program or material, and no preparatory program is endorsed by the CAE Commission nor is a prerequisite to earn the CAE.
