Thousands of public participation practitioners have completed the existing iap2 Foundations in Effective Public Participation program – many thousands of these with Delaney – to rave reviews. Our new virtual academies and friendly pricing offers greater accessibility for engagement practitioners wanting to complete this program – the gold standard for engagement training and THE program for people who want to bring their engagement work to a new level. If you are interested in an intensive, interactive skills-driven and results-oriented learning experience, this is the program for you.
We are offering a comprehensive online schedule for summer and fall 2020, in order to accommodate interest, and are offering both Planning formats at a “don’t let this slip by you” price of $1095 + GST and Techniques at a great price of $795 + GST.
Based on feedback from our recent engagement with hundreds of D+A alumni, we are pleased to offer the online Planning course in two formats:
Express Academy – 16 hours completed over four consecutive days (Monday – Thursday)
Extended Academy – 16 hours completed over eight days (two weeks/Monday – Thursday)
We are pleased to offer the online Techniques course in the following format:
Express Academy – 12 hours completed over four consecutive days (Monday – Thursday)

What’s included? AKA the Delaney Difference
Right from the start, we committed to do everything we could to make our virtual training as valuable, interactive and motivational as our in-person training.
Here are the top six things – unique to Delaney – our participants are loving:
- Learn from Canada’s highly-rated iap2 trainers and engagement practitioners – Richard Delaney and Jessica Delaney – priceless!
- Get real-time technology and facilitation support during your Virtual Academy, from a Delaney producer. You can focus on the learning!
- A hard-copy student manual. If you register at least two weeks in advance, you likely will have your manual (and Delaney treats) before the course begins. We will provide a PDF student manual for late registrants (while you wait your hard-copy manual) and for those who choose a digital manual.
- Delaney’s own learning management system for added value and self-directed learning. Watch the intro video at the bottom of this section to learn more.
- A virtual classroom that opens early and closes late. Bring your coffee!
- Follow-up coaching, templates and newsletters
