ISA Atlanta Section is offering the CAP in a Year program again in 2011 due to the great success in 2010. The program span is six months culminating in the actual exam taken before the end of August 2011. This year six (6) people of varied education and skill level sat for the test and five (5) passed. This is wonderful success knowing the national average is less than half. This year the course materials have been upgraded. We are using the official ISA course materials licensed to ISA Atlanta Section. It is sure to be a marvelous gathering.
