The School Administrative Professional Certification Program (SAPC) is for central office, school building secretaries, and individuals employed in administrative support positions in Michigan schools. Although anyone may benefit from certification, the full program is designed for those in their first five years of employment. MIEM will evaluate the professional development and work backgrounds of those who have substantial experience to determine how much additional training is required prior to granting “Grandparenting” credit for certification.
