IAIA RECOGNIZES THAT THE TRAINING OF IA PROFESSIONALS IS A KEY TO EFFECTIVE IMPACT ASSESSMENTS.

 

Through its Training and Professional Development Committee, IAIA provides members and non-members with access to training courses (both in person and online), webinars, and training manuals to promote and support IA capacity building.

See this page for additional information about each of our Training Program offerings as well as our Training Calendar.

<Professional Development Program (PDP)

IAIA’s Professional Development Program (PDP) is designed to provide online training for individuals involved in carrying out, reviewing, or otherwise participating in EIA and related studies of projects.  This 12-week "Foundations of Impact Assessment" course is incredibly popular due to the popularity of the course content and because each trainee is paired with an expert trainer in IA, so make sure to register early.

<Online Training Courses (OTC)

In an effort to provide more online, interactive training opportunities, IAIA is proud to debut of its new Online Training Courses (OTC).  These courses will be held over multiple sessions for a 1-3 week period of time and will have small class sizes to encourage participation among participants as well as with the instructor.  Topics will cover a wide variety of impact assessment areas, as well as options for foundation, intermediate, and advanced level content.

IAIA shares the expertise of its members through a series of webinars throughout the year.  These webinars are live events, often with interactive Q&A sections for attendee involvement.  Recordings of past webinars are also available on demand, with archived webinars dating back to 2015.
