Certificate of Achievement in Public Plan Policy (CAPPP™)

The CAPPP™ program has become the place to begin trustee education in the public sector. This program for the serious-minded trustee provides in-depth exploration of the building blocks needed to fulfill one’s fiduciary obligation. The program consists of a total of eight (8) modules, taught in four-hour increments over a total of four days. Teaching methods include group exercises, lecture and student interaction. Faculty is drawn from practitioners in the public sector who are well-acquainted with the “real” issues being faced, allowing rich and current examples of actual situations. Class size is limited in order to foster a personal touch and comprehension.

Flexible enrollment options are available for CAPPP™. Part II can be taken before Part I. This year, Parts I and II will be offered consecutively during the week two times. Or, time and expense can be leveraged when you take Part II of CAPPP™ on Saturday and Sunday before the Benefits Conference for Public Employees.
