Program Structure
The Institute is offered twice per year and runs Sunday through Thursday evening. The Institute curriculum comprises four core areas covering general administration & management, maintenance & operations, energy & utilities, and planning, design & construction. Institute students select one core area that will be their content focus for the week. Morning classes consist of required courses centering on the core area selected. Afternoon classes will be electives chosen by the student and maybe a combination of any of the four core areas.
Upon completing the week-long session, students will receive a certificate of completion designating their core area of study and 3.0 continuing education units (CEUs). To receive maximum benefit, APPA recommends that students work towards graduation from the entire Institute program by completing all four core areas. To graduate, students must complete all of these areas. Students are awarded a plaque recognizing their achievement upon completing the program.
