CAE Study Group Forming in Madison

There will be a CAE study group formed in Madison to help candidates prepare for the CAE exam next May. Several members have expressed an interest in studying in a peer setting so we’d like get a firm list of candidates and mentors.  WSAE has study guides for the candidates available for $100 each which will be used as a basis for preparation.

We anticipate a total of about 10 sessions – one week per Domain. We would like to have CAE facilitators assigned to each Domain and will provide the facilitator guide to each of the CAE volunteers. (Great way to refresh our knowledge as well!) Facilitators can expect to attend a meeting with all facilitators (1 hour or so), 1 hour prep for facilitation and 2 hours for each session – about 4 or 5 hours per Domain.
