How to use this guide
This guide covers the key topics in the IAAP CPACC Body of Knowledge. You could read the guide from "front-to-back" in around an hour.
But, it's more likely that you will want to dip in and out of topics as you study the CPACC Body of Knowledge, or use it as a reference later.
Navigating the guide
There are two ways to move around:
Table of contents: select the Table of contents button to see all domains and topics. The current topic is highlighted so you always know where you are in the framework. Use it to jump to any topic directly.
Sequential navigation: use the next and previous buttons to move through the guide topic by topic. Each domain page also links directly to its topics.
Content structure
The guide is organised into the 3 domains of the BoK. Each domain contains a set of topics. Many topics use an accordion to group related subtopics. Select a tab to expand a panel and read the content. The page scrolls automatically to show the title of the expanded panel at the top of the screen.
For longer topics, there’s a back-to-top button to save you scrolling. A backlink at the top of each topic takes you back to the domain page.
Mobile-first design
The guide is designed primarily for mobile use, but it works well on any device. The layout, text size, and navigation are all optimised for a small screen. If you are studying on the go, it should feel at home on your phone.
