The EFP Credential

Managing a campus is like managing a small city, requiring vision and comprehensive understanding of structures and their environments. The EFP shows that you get it --you have familiarity with standards and best practices, the ability to perform research-backed stewardship, and the facts, ideas and principles that contribute to creative and sound decisions.

The exam for the EFP Credential will cover APPAs four core competency areas for facilities professionals:

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

In this section you'll find out the value of earning this credential, how to determine if you are eligible, how to take part in the credentialing program, and how to apply.
