CA-AM Exam Prep Workshop

ASAP offers four different types of exam reviews to help you prepare for the CA-AM exam. All four options are bundled and include the workshop, materials and the exam itself. To see when these workshops are being offered, check our calendar.

  1. Face-to-Face Workshop - This one-day workshop covers key concepts for successful alliances, organizational elements that align alliances with corporate strategy, and partner business objectives. This workshop incorporates group discussions and case scenario analysis. Exam candidates have 30 days after completing the workshop to take and pass the exam.
  2. Live Online Instructor-led Workshop - This interactive workshop is conducted over two half-day sessions via Zoom, led by an instructor. It covers key concepts for successful alliances, organizational elements that align alliances with corporate strategy, and partner business objectives. The workshop incorporates group discussions, case scenario analysis, and breakout sessions, fostering active participation and peer interaction. Exam candidates have 30 days after completing the workshop to take and pass the exam.
  3. Self-paced Online Learning - This self-paced option provides a flexible learning experience without an instructor. It consists of recorded audio lectures and multimedia content, covering key concepts for successful alliances, organizational elements that align alliances with corporate strategy, and partner business objectives. Upon registration, candidates have 8 weeks in total to complete the self-paced online learning and pass the exam. Short term access to The ASAP Handbook of Alliance Management electronic book is available until the exam is passed, but no longer than 8 weeks. Members register here. If you're not a member and interested in registering, contact us for next steps at certification@strategic-alliances.org


    ** It's important to note that while this self-paced option offers convenience, it may not provide the same interactive experience as the live online instructor-led workshops or in-person workshops. For those able, ASAP recommends attending a virtual instructor-led workshop or an in-person workshop for a more comprehensive and engaging learning experience, including peer interactions and opportunities for discussion and case analysis.

  4. Custom Team Workshops - These workshops are structured to assist members in preparing for the CA-AM exam and serve as a refresher of the knowledge and skills that a successful test-taker should already have. They are not comprehensive courses but rather review sessions designed for organizational alliance teams to participate together. A minimum number of attendees is required, and the workshops can be delivered online or in-person. ASAP will provide a facilitator and access to all workshop materials. Custom team workshops allow organizations to minimize time spent out of the office while enabling team members across different locations to collectively review and prepare for the exam. Exam candidates have 30 days after completing the workshop to take the exam. Contact us for more details at certification@strategic-alliances.org !
