Dear CAPP Candidate: Welcome and congratulations on considering becoming a CAPP, respected worldwide as the leading credential in parking. What does it mean to be a CAPP? You need only connect with any parking professional who currently holds the title to know that the CAPP community comprises the very best in the profession— mentors, innovators, leaders – who combine talent, skills, expertise, and a commitment to share their ideas and expertise to advance the parking profession. It’s a special group, but not an exclusive one. CAPPs warmly welcome new graduates to the fold, expanding what has become a close-knit family of colleagues with whom to network, share, learn, and grow. As you will see in the CAPP Candidate Handbook, the path to earning and maintaining the credential has changed. These changes have been made to ensure we follow best practices in credentialing and to align the expectations for a CAPP’s body of knowledge with IPI’s groundbreaking Parking Jobs Analysis Survey, which was conducted to ensure the CAPP credential reflects the real-world breadth of knowledge and skills required of today’s parking professionals. The triangle embedded in the new CAPP logo represents both the solid foundation that is required of every CAPP, as well as the pinnacle of achievement in earning the credential and the commitment to always strive to reach new heights. Kudos for taking this first step on the road to becoming a CAPP. All of us at IPI and IPI’s CAPP Certification Board wish you great success and look forward to sharing the journey with you.

CAPP Certification Program Philosophy
Please direct all communications in writing to:
Designation as a CAPP is meant to assure stakeholders (employers, regulators, consumers, and the public) that the credentialed parking professional has demonstrated an established level of competence in the field. Applying research performed in the development of the CAPP Certification Program, candidates are measured against standards that reflect competence in the role as it is practiced today.

The goals of the CAPP Certification Program are to:
Introduction
I. Provide a means for parking professionals to demonstrate the critical knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to serve the public trust and interest;
Thank you for your interest in the CAPP Certification Program. This CAPP Candidate Handbook details the process, policies, and procedures supporting the CAPP Certification Program. It contains the program application, eligibility and experience requirements, examination content outline, reference recommendations, information about registering for and taking the CAPP examination, and recertification requirements. The CAPP Certification Program is administered by the CAPP Certification Board, which operates as an autonomous board of the International Parking Institute (IPI).
II. Establish legally defensible criteria against which competency as a CAPP may be measured; III. Encourage personal and professional growth; IV. Recognize parking professionals who demonstrate and maintain competency as a CAPP; and V. Provide a registry of CAPPs, serving the stakeholder need to identify those who have earned the credential.
The CAPP Certification Board is responsible for all aspects of the CAPP credential, as authorized by the bylaws of IPI. IPI is a nonprofit membership 501(c)3 trade organization providing services to and representing the parking industry since 1962.
Becoming a CAPP To be considered for candidacy in the CAPP Certification Program, candidates must:
The CAPP credential is a program of the International Parking Institute and is administered through the independent CAPP Certification Board of IPI in cooperation with the University of Virginia.
• Assert and document completion of a minimum of three years of management/supervisory experience in parking or an allied profession (e.g., architecture, construction/ maintenance, service/material vendor, consultant).
Mission Statement IPI’s CAPP Certification Program is designed to:
• Assert and document a minimum education of a high school degree.
• Establish a benchmark of excellence for the parking profession;
• Assert and document a minimum of 25 professional development contact hours.
• Assert and document a minimum of 50 total education,
• Provide continual information and training to parking and transportation professionals;
experience, and professional development eligibility points as they relate to the profession.
• Increase the body of knowledge available to parking professionals; and • Provide a means by which parking professionals may demonstrate their proficiency and be recognized by their peers, employers, regulators, customers, and the public. CAPP CANDIDATE HANDBOOK 4
certification process, candidates are expected to self-assess their knowledge and understanding required to successfully pass the examination through thorough study of the CAPP examination content outline. This self-assessment may highlight skill and task areas that would benefit from additional study, education, and/or professional development. Passing the examination ensures that CAPP credential holders have demonstrated competency in the full complement of subspecialty content areas, reflecting competent practice in the field.
• Receive an endorsement from a CAPP, employer, or equivalent of the attestation of education, training, and experience claimed on the application. • Complete the application in its entirety, including provision of acceptable responses to the Ethics Certification and Attestation; Privacy Policy opt-in/opt-out questions; and Certification of Accuracy, Agreement, and Release Authorization, attesting to the truth of the assertions regarding professional experience, education, and professional development.
CAPP Candidate Eligibility Matrix
• Submit the examination fee.
To be eligible for candidacy as a CAPP, candidates must meet the minimum education, experience, and professional development point requirements (totaling 45 points), plus five additional points from any of the three eligibility categories, for a total of 50 points. The following matrix outlines the point distributions and requirements.
To earn the CAPP credential, candidates must pass the examination with a scaled score of 70 or better.
Eligibility Requirements Eligibility is determined based upon recognized education, experience, and professional development related to competency in the parking profession. The CAPP Certification Board recognizes that the pathway to the CAPP credential is diverse. Some professionals have a wealth of experience managing parking facilities; others come to serve in the parking industry based upon education or experience in the fields of facility design, urban planning, construction, maintenance, traffic management, etc. Other professionals serve the industry as consultants, vendors, or ancillary service providers. As the CAPP examination content outline (included in this guide) details, the skills required to practice competently involve expertise in subspecialties representing many areas of parking management and operations, but to require education, professional development, and experience in all subspecialty fields is impractical. Therefore, the minimum requirements in each of the three eligibility areas allow candidates to apply various combinations of education, experience, and professional development to meet the minimum requirements, recognizing that CAPP candidates come from varied backgrounds.

Examination Information
Privacy/Confidentiality Policy
Examination Development
The CAPP Certification Board abides by the IPI’s strict privacy/ confidentiality policy demonstrating its firm commitment to CAPP candidates and certificant privacy (available at parking.org/capp). The policy applies to all aspects of the CAPP credential, including the secure handling and storage of application materials, examinations, scores, and candidate and certificant records. CAPP staff is required to complete a nondisclosure document agreeing to protect the privacy of CAPP certificants and candidates. It is the policy of the CAPP Certification Board that nondisclosure-protected information may not be released to or shared with:
The content validity (relevance), fairness, and accuracy of the CAPP examination are assured. The CAPP Certification Board, working with experts in the field of certification programming, mandates that the examination development, administration, scoring, and reporting adhere to international professional standards and guidelines establishing assessment and certification best practices. The most important of these standards are promulgated by such key organizations as the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), ISO/American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 17024 Standards, American Psychological Association (APA), and Council on Licensure, Enforcement and Regulation (CLEAR). This body of standards provides a means for ensuring that the assessment and credentialing process is a fair measure of competence and is legally defensible.
1. Any member of the public unless there is applicable statutory exception or written release from the CAPP candidate or certificant. 2. Any member of the CAPP Certification Board unless the recipient has a legitimate interest for the use of that protected information to perform a service or carry out a responsibility within that person’s scope of employment or engagement as a public official.
The examination content outline is based upon the 2013 Job Analysis Study (also called a role delineation) that will be revalidated periodically. The most recent study findings have been implemented and used a full-scale survey methodology inviting all known parking professionals and CAPPs to participate. This research was performed under the direction of
The CAPP procedure is that protected information may only be released or shared in accordance with this policy.

a panel of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) representing the full complement of diversity in the field, providing a documented link between the content of the examination and practice on the job as a CAPP.
best response, first answering the questions they are sure of, returning to the more difficult questions as time allows. Credit is given only for questions that have responses; questions left blank will be scored as incorrect. Therefore, there is no penalty for guessing.
The passing standard (cut score) for the CAPP examination was determined using methodologies involving a representative panel of CAPP SMEs and empirical judgments (Angoff, Design V). New forms and versions of the examination are systematically implemented to protect the integrity and security of the examination program and to conform to testing industry standards. Each new examination form contains a significant percentage of new questions that are unique to the new form. Psychometric procedures are used to score the examinations in compliance with relevant technical guidelines. The CAPP examination reports scores using a scaled score model, in which raw scores are placed on a 0–100 scale, with 70 reported as the passing score on all examinations. Score scaling is a common psychometric practice used on many examinations, including the SAT, ACT, and CPA examinations.
At the end of the testing session, a computer-generated score report will be issued.* This score is provisional, pending statistical verification that will take place within 72 hours. If candidates do not hear from the CAPP Certification Board or its agent within that time period, they may assume the score stands as reported. Candidates passing the examination will not receive a scaled score. Failing candidates will receive a scaled score, along with a diagnostic report indicating content areas of weakness. The examination score is based upon the total number of correct responses that represent competency. Scores are unrelated to the performance of other candidates taking the examination. *At times during the examination development cycle, candidate scores may be withheld pending further psychometric analysis. Withheld scores will be released within approximately 60 days of the test administration date.
Ongoing question writing, question review, and examination and question analyses are conducted to ensure that the validity, reliability, and other psychometric characteristics of the examinations conform to standards. New questions written by CAPP SMEs are reviewed multiple times, verified to an approved reference, and linked to the examination content outline. All questions undergo statistical review to ensure they operate properly. All of these activities are overseen by professional test development and psychometric staff, as contracted by the CAPP Certification Board. The board is highly confident that the validity of the exam content, the reliability of the test instruments, and the measurement processes employed to analyze, score, and establish reporting scores are of the highest caliber.
Examination Content As described, the examination content outline is based upon job analysis research of the role of the parking professional. The examination construction is based upon the importance rating of the seven main content areas. A complete content outline follows.

Examination Design, Scoring, and Reporting The CAPP examination comprises 150 live (scored) and 15 pretest (not scored) four-option, multiple-choice questions, administered using computer-based examinations. Candidates are allotted three hours to complete the exam. Each multiplechoice question has four answer choices; only one answer choice is correct. It is a closed-book examination. Candidates have access to an on-screen calculator at all times during the examination and will be provided with scratch paper that will be collected after the test administration. Candidates are encouraged to read the questions carefully, choosing the single

Examination Registration
IPI offers single and multi-day training seminars and workshops independent of the CAPP Certification Board. The CAPP Certification Board provides no training, nor educational materials, and it is important to note that candidates for the CAPP are not required to purchase training or education materials from the IPI in order to pass the examination.
Once a CAPP application is approved, candidates will receive official notification of their right to register to take the CAPP examination and instructions on how to do so. The examination is offered via computer administration at more than 250 test sites in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, Canada, and various sites outside of North America. Test sites operate in all 50 states, and most are open from Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., excluding holidays. These sites are operated by the CAPP administration contractor, ISO Quality Testing. Information concerning testing center locations and hours of operation may be found at www.isoqualitytesting.com; click the “Take a Test” tab and then the “Locate a Testing Center” hyperlink. Note: Candidates may not register for a testing site until registration information is provided by the CAPP Certification Board upon approval of the application.
Attendance at IPI courses and training is not a prerequisite to take the CAPP examination; the courses are not designed to serve as examination preparation classes, nor do they serve any ancillary examination-related purposes. The course curriculums are designed specifically to review broad concepts and offer high-level overviews of IPI-relevant topics and sub-topics. More information about educational opportunities may be found at the “Meetings & Events” and “Professional Development” sections of the IPI website (parking.org). Education/training courses are neither designed, nor marketed, to provide the level of detailed review of technical knowledge required for examination preparation.
Once approved to take the CAPP examination, candidates will receive correspondence directing them to:

Rescheduling an Examination Registration
security affidavit agreeing to abide by all rules and regulations, including the following:
Candidates scheduled to take the examination may reschedule or cancel for a $25 charge if the request is made five working days in advance of the scheduled administration date. The examination cannot be rescheduled five days prior to the scheduled testing date unless the following four situations have occurred:
• During the registration procedures at the test site, candidates must sign the test roster and provide one form of valid government-issued photo identification with a signature, such as a driver’s license or passport. • No books, papers, texts, references, or personal calculators are allowed into the examination room. An on-screen calculator will be provided, along with scratch paper and a pencil that will be collected by the test proctor after testing. No electronic devices of any kind are permitted in the testing room (e.g., cell phones, smartphones). If any are found, the candidate will be disqualified. If at all possible, personal belongings should not be brought to the testing site. If they are, they will be placed in a secure location and will be unavailable to the candidate during the examination.
Jury duty Death in the immediate family* Military deployment Sickness *The immediate family is defined as a person’s grandparents, parents, spouses, siblings, and children. Please note that proper documentation will be required for any of the four reasons before rescheduling to a new date. Rescheduling may be performed by accessing the test registration menu at isoqualitytesting.com using the same username and password previously provided. The fee for rescheduling a missed examination administration appointment is $150.
• No food or drink is allowed in the examination site. Candidates with a specific medical condition (e.g., hypoglycemia, pregnancy, diabetes) requiring the consumption of water or food during the examination period must submit a written request to the CAPP Certification Board for a special accommodation prior to the examination.
Failure to appear at any scheduled examination site without contacting IQT or failure to reschedule an examination date within a one-year window will cause the forfeiture of all application fees. Candidates may reapply for the CAPP Certification Program by paying the full application fee. It is the candidate’s responsibility to contact the computer-testing administrator, ISO Quality Testing, to reschedule a test administration.
• Visitors are not permitted in the examination room. • At no time during the examination may candidates give or receive help to one another or communicate in any way. Examination proctors have the authority to remove a candidate suspected of cheating from the examination room, at which time scores will be cancelled and disciplinary action will be taken.
Examination Administration Rules and Regulations
• Candidates are expected to follow all instructions from examination proctors, printed in test booklets and answer sheets, and/or displayed in the computer-testing program. Candidates will be provided with the opportunity to ask questions prior to beginning the examination.
The examination administrator or proctor is the CAPP Certification Board’s designated agent for maintaining a secure and valid examination administration. Any individual found by the CAPP Certification Board or its agent to have engaged in conduct that compromises or attempts to compromise the integrity of the examination process will be subject to disciplinary action as sanctioned by the CAPP Certification Board, the Code of Ethics, and the CAPP Certification Board policies and procedures. Examinations are administered according to a strict protocol to ensure the examination security and protect the right of each candidate to a standardized testing experience. In addition to the attestation on the CAPP Application, as a prerequisite to distribution of examination materials, candidates are required to sign a
The computer-delivered examinations include a five-minute tutorial program designed to give candidates confidence in the use of the program, as well as familiarity with the system prior to beginning the examination. The tutorial questions are for demonstration purposes only and do not affect examination scores. Candidates are encouraged to take the time to complete the tutorial as it explains features of the computerized testing system. The candidate name and the name of the examination will be shown in the upper left corner of the screen. If either of these is incorrect, candidates are asked to inform the proctor.
CAPP CANDIDATE HANDBOOK 15
Examination Scoring and Reporting
A navigation grid is posted on the upper right of the screen, depicting the number of questions on the examination and the status of those questions (answered, bookmarked for review, or skipped). A digital clock is also posted indicating a countdown of available time. Registered candidates may take a sample test (content is not parking-related) before going to the test site by accessing the testing contractor’s website at parking.org/capp.
The CAPP Certification Board works with its testing consultant and contractors in the development, administration, scoring, and reporting of the CAPP examination and facilitates research studies with a committee of CAPPs to establish passing scores for each examination. Using Modified Angoff V standardsetting procedures, the CAPPs are asked to review every question on the examination and provide empirical judgments of the likelihood of competent CAPPs answering the question correctly. Through this process, a raw score representing competency is established. The raw passing score is translated into a scaled reporting score. Passing the examination requires a scaled score of 70.
• Candidates may leave the testing room only after receipt of express permission from the proctor. Candidates must sign out and sign in from the room and must surrender all testing materials when they exit. Exit from the testing room is permitted for washroom and drinking fountain visits only. Candidates may not access cell phones or leave the building during breaks. Test timing is not paused for these breaks.
1. Candidates passing the examination receive notice of successful performance. The CAPP examination is a minimum competency examination and is not intended to distinguish scores above the passing point. Numeric scores are not reported above the passing point.
• Disqualifying behaviors include: u Creating a disturbance u Aiding or asking for aid from another candidate u Any attempt to remove, copy, buy, sell, or reproduce testing materials
2. Failing candidates receive a numeric scaled score and a report indicating content areas of weakness. The report is designed to provide a tool for study and preparation for retaking the examination.
u Unauthorized possession of test materials u Impersonation of another candidate
3. At the testing site, candidates receive a preliminary printed score report upon completion of the examination; at certain times within the test development process scores may be withheld pending test/question statistical review. In either case, official scores are sent via USPS from the CAPP home office/IPI headquarters.
u Use of contraband materials or equipment in the testing site u Any falsification or misrepresentation of information provided during the CAPP Application process
Candidate Comments
4. Examination scores will be provided only to the candidate via U.S. Postal Service mail and will not be provided by phone, fax, or internet.
During the examination, candidates have the opportunity to post comments simply by clicking on the icon “Comment on This Question.” Once the examination is completed, candidates may provide additional feedback and comments on the examination exit survey. Examination proctors may not discuss or comment on the examination contents. All comments and questions are reviewed and considered by the CAPP Examination Committee; however, security procedures preclude discussion with candidates concerning individual test questions or comments. Candidates should not expect a response to a comment unless it relates to a problem with the examination administration. Candidate comments or lack thereof may be taken into consideration as evidence during the appeals process (details of examination appeal procedures follow).
Retesting for Failing Candidates Failing candidates are allowed to reapply to retake the examination upon payment of a $150 re-examination fee. The first retake may take place as soon as the re-examination fee is received and processed. Candidates may retest four times. An additional $150 re-examination fee must be paid for any subsequent retest. Candidates are afforded 12 months in which to take and pass the examination. After the fourth failure there is a six-month waiting period, after which candidates may schedule another retest.
