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)

We are limiting our online courses to 20 participants to ensure the same high-quality, fast-paced and interactive sessions for which Delaney is known and have a course minimum of eight participants.
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 technology host. 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
- A virtual classroom that opens early and closes late. Bring your coffee!
- Follow-up coaching, templates and newsletters

“The Delaney iap2 Virtual Academy – Planning provided a fresh and modern approach to planning for initiatives that left me feeling prepared and excited to lead initiatives within my organization.”
Quality, Patient Safety and Patient Relations Specialist, Niagara Region, Virtual Academy, September 2020, iap2 Planning Course
“An engaging course that builds your foundation to think strategically and what techniques you might find or look to build in your toolbox. Thanks Richard and Brittany, this was fantastic!”
Social Economic Analyst, Vancouver, Virtual Academy, September 2020, iap2 Techniques Course
“Rich with insight, filled with practical information that I can take immediately into my current position! This course was exactly what I was looking for. It provided the right amount of introductory theory to begin on the practical applications of the coursework. The digital format was more engaging than ANY in-person course I have taken. Richard and Naomi were supportive, knowledgeable, and professional going above and beyond the instruction I expected. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a course in Public Participation.”
Communications & Engagement Lead, Toronto, Virtual Academy, August 2020, iap2 Planning Course
“The breakout rooms were extremely helpful. There are times when virtual training sessions can get boring and people lose attention, however the way the course was organised, I felt fully involved. Through the breakout group session, I was able to use the information that Jessica gave in her lecture and implement them on the case studies.”
Project Manager, Vancouver, Virtual Academy, July 2020, iap2 Planning Course
“The course instructors, Richard and Brittany, were well teamed and balanced in the production of all the sessions. It was joyful and easy to participate and follow along. Thank you.”
