I have taken this course and highly recommend it as part of your CASP exam preparation.
 
Is there a place where one can educate themselves regarding the liability issues if one becomes a CASp? I am not convinced that its worth the risk, but then again I do not believe I fully understand the ramifications.

Contact your E/O insurance provider
 
Just a heads up for those of you who are going to be taking the CASp certification, do not wait until the last minute to turn in your application and register for your exam, i waited three weeks to get approval on my application before i could register for the exam, remember we are dealing with the State of California:)
 
Great news from DSA, they have made the CAsp certification a two part test with 40 questions open bood and 60 questions closed book
