Before you enroll in an IOMA/TAPN AP Certification Program:

  • Decide which certification program is right for you — Accredited Payables Manager (APM) for department heads, Accredited Payables Specialist (APS) for key AP Staff, or Accredited Payables Department (APD) for the department as a whole.

  • Give us 7 minutes and we’ll give you your AP IQ. If you are a manager, determine if you want to get your entire department certified. Each of your staff can take the 30-question AP IQ test too!

  • Decide whether completing a self study or attending a live IOMA/TAPN AP Certification Program seminar will best meet your needs. In either case, you may opt to take the (optional) certification exam at the end of the program or online, at your convenience.

  • If you choose self-study the online training program (www.cognistar.com/iomaaponlinetrainingpromo) will work for you.

  • If a live IOMA/TAPN AP Certification Program seminar will better meet your needs — attend a program from the training course schedule below or have the entire IOMA AP Department training faculty visit your facility.


Fast fact: According to IOMA research, individuals holding certification earn salaries of up to 8.9% more than their uncertified colleagues!
