APPA’s Leadership Academy prepares educational facilities professionals to become effective leaders with the skills to create thriving cultures of trust and lifelong learning that they can take back to their institutions. A comprehensive course for educational facilities professionals, the Academy touches on all aspects of successful FM leadership skills: individual, interpersonal, managerial, and organizational.
Core Curriculum
Available both in-person and virtual programming, this interactive learning experience is based on proven leadership development solutions. Facilities professionals progress through four levels of instruction:
- Individual Effectiveness Skills (Level I)
- Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills (Level II)
- Managerial Effectiveness Skills (Level III)
- Organizational Effectiveness Skills (Level IV)
After the course is completed, the student receives a certificate of completion and is eligible to receive continuing education units (CEUs).
