Course structure
Every IPPC course is delivered entirely live online, so you can connect to our classes and instructors from anywhere around the world.
Our course content and training is composed of foundational theories and a majority of practical application, with real-life case studies and examples. Our learner-centric approach allows you to be active participants in your own learning. There will be small discussion groups, where you can process your learning alongside your peers, and both share and take in diverse perspectives.
Your instructors take on a coaching and mentoring role as they deliver the content. Their teaching style includes pedagogical approaches such as constructivism, collaboration, inquiry-based learning, and reflection.
We’ve also outlined the time commitment for the two additional courses, so you can determine how they would best fit your life and your goals. You will be assessed through evidence of participation and learning (e.g., a written assignment, questionnaire, written reflection, portfolio, etc).
