CAI is different from NAA’s other designations. It’s a three-year program in which attendees spend a week each year onsite at Indiana University. It’s an intensive program involving late nights working on projects, in committees, fine-tuning business plans, and other projects that happen in the time between classes.CAI, unlike other designations, focuses on the business of the auction industry rather than on a particular asset class.
