APPA Leadership Academy: Level I — Individual Effectiveness Skills

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 collection of four courses for educational facilities professionals, the Leadership Academy touches on all aspects of successful leadership skills: individual, interpersonal, managerial, and organizational.

Leadership Academy students follow a progression through APPA's leadership courses:

  1. Individual Effectiveness Skills (Level I)
  2. Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills (Level II)
  3. Managerial Effectiveness Skills (Level III)
  4. Organizational Effectiveness Skills (Level IV)

Leadership Academy students earn 21 professional development hours (PDH) after completing each of the four levels. Many Leadership Academy students return to complete all four levels and become Leadership Academy Graduates. More details about APPA's Leadership Academy.
