DEMONSTRATE YOUR CAPABILITIES
Facilities professionals in today’s world need to have a wide range of skills and expertise to be effective champions for facilities management in educational facilities. It is crucial that facilities management professionals be viewed as experts who understand the impact facilities have on the quality of education. This is why the Certified Educational Facilities Professional (CEFP) can elevate the professionalism of our field. The CEFP credential represents the highest standards of performance and understanding in educational facilities management, and demonstrates the individual’s commitment to ongoing professional development, dedication, and continuous improvement in the management of educational facilities.
The CEFP credential is appropriate for the experienced facilities professional. With the CEFP credential, the holder must accrue 120 APPA units every four years and apply for renewal.
