CAPPP stands for the Certificate of Achievement in Public Plan Policy. It includes a Health track and a Pensions track, and is designed specifically for public sector trustees and support staff of these plans. 

The CAPPP program is essential education for new public sector trustees and the completion of the program demonstrates a strong educational foundation in the core topic areas of public sector pension and health plans.Topics include fiduciary responsibility, legislation and regulation, and plan design. The CAPPP program ensures public sector trustees and the staff that support them are well prepared for their roles.
