 Educational Facilities Professional Credential Program

ERAPPA 2009 Conference registrants can also sign up to take part in the Educational Facilities Professional Credential (EFP) program for an additional fee. The program includes a one day prep (Saturday, October 3) followed by the EFP exam offered through APPA(1/2 day- Sunday morning).

The EFP Credential represents the fundamental advantages a facilities professional can bring to his or her campus and the campus decision-making team. Those who earn this industry standard credential:

• Represent core knowledge, talent, skill, accountability and commitment

• Are guided to a holistic, systemic view of operations and development

• Become more competitive and desirable to current management and potential employers

• Possess an accomplishment that stays throughout ones professional and personal journey

Successful completion of the EFP test provides evidence of familiarity with standards and best practices, ability to perform research-backed stewardship, and knowledge of the facts, ideas and principals that contribute to creative and sound decisions. The exam for the EFP Credential covers APPA's four core competency areas for facilities professionals:

• General Administration and Management
• Operations and Maintenance
• Energy and Utilities
• Planning, Design and Construction

More information about the credentialing program can be found on the APPA Web Site.
