Nebraska Educational Office Professionals Association (NEOPA)

PSP Information

The Nebraska Educational Office Professionals Association (NEOPA) is excited to be part of an established program that encourages the continuing education of educational office professionals.

The Professional Standards Program (PSP) is a voluntary program established by our parent organization, the National Association of Educational Office Professionals (NAEOP), that provides the opportunity for educational office professionals to grow professionally.

The program is designed as a series of five levels in Option I and nine levels in Option II. The awarding of a certificate is based on requirements in three areas: education, experience, and professional activity.

 A member who holds the Advanced III, Option I, or Associate Degree or higher under Option II is qualified to apply for the distinction of Certified Educational Office Employee (CEOE).

The Program is governed by the Professional Standards Program governing body, referred to as the Governing Board. The PSP Committee makes recommendations to the Governing Board. The final decision is made by the NAEOP Board of Directors.

Filing dates for PSP applications are:

• January 15
• May 15
• September 15
