APPA has created a new BOK Videos playlist on our YouTube channel (APPALeadership) and posted 18 short videos on a variety of topics of interest to educational facilities professionals.
The purpose of the BOK Videos is to provide short, elevator-speech introductions to topics or themes related to BOK (Body of Knowledge) content, material presented at APPA’s training programs, and/or current topics in educational facilities.
The APPA Body of Knowledge consists of more than 60 chapters on topics related to APPA’s four core areas: General Administration & Management; Operations & Maintenance; Energy, Utilities & Sustainability; and Planning, Design & Construction. The BOK serves as the primary resource for those earning APPA’s Certified Educational Facilities Professional (CEFP) credential.
The current BOK Videos playlist includes the following topics. You can watch each one individually or play all using the Shuffle feature.
