Why earn the CASDM?

Admin teams often learn on the job with no plan, so skills stay uneven and the department stalls when a key person leaves. A training plan tied to job requirements, regular counselling and a succession plan keep the office capable year after year.

As a CASDM you can determine staff development requirements, run a training needs analysis, plan and coordinate job training, assess its effectiveness, conduct counselling and motivation sessions, develop a departmental succession plan and report on staff development.

Is the CASDM recognised by employers?
