Having an AAP credential will allow you and your organization to be a part of a larger force to create a more efficient and reliable ACH Network. Becoming an AAP will expand your knowledge in areas such as the ACH Rules, fraud prevention and loss, risk management, file formatting and International ACH Transactions, better known as IAT.

Once you've made the decision to become an AAP, dont' delay in registering with NACHA to take the exam. The 2010 test dates are October 11-29 and the registration deadline is September 14, 2010.

Test Locations and Times: NACHA is partnering with PSI, a secure computer-based testing center to administer the AAP exam. When you have completed your registration with NACHA they will provide you a list of local PSI testing centers to allow you to check locations and times. We encourage you to register early for the AAP exam so you can secure the time and test site that is most convenient to you.

Test Results: Unofficial pass / no pass results are provided immediately at the conclusion of your exam. Official results will be mailed from NACHA within six weeks of the close of the test window.
