There are 22 Chapters in Pennsylvania including five in the greater Philadelphia area: Bucks County (Southampton), Montgomery County (Conshohocken), Rohm and Haas Delaware Valley, Wyeth, and the Liberty Bell chapter in center city Philadelphia.
The Bucks County Chapter offers educational seminars, training, and networking opportunities to all administrative professionals who live or work in Bucks County.

The rating is obtained by completing and verifying education and employment experience requirements, and passing either a three day one part exam or a four-part, two-day examination on the following areas: finance and business law, office systems and administration, management and organizational planning. The CPS/CAP Testing Center for Bucks County is the Warminster Recreation Center on Little Lane in Warminster.
