At the September 2019 AAPPR board meeting, the board voted to accept a new competency model. The board voted to sunset the FASPR credential and to develop a new credential based on the competency model.

The new model, developed over the course of a year with expertise from outside consultants and nearly thirty AAPPR subject matter experts, was validated by a survey sent to AAPPR members and stakeholders.

The new competency model will become the core curriculum for AAPPR education content delivered across all platforms, as per AAPPR’s strategic plan.
