Travel and time out of the office is a barrier for many organizations with training needs. The IPA Institute delivers public and private online training via the WebEx Training Center to ease the burden. IPA instructors use synchronistic training tools such as polls, two-way audio for discussions, online chat for Q&A, whiteboards, and recording and archiving. Delivered in a series of short modules to a small cohort, these interactive courses foster active engagement and shared learning.

Within owner organizations or project teams, keeping large groups informed of key practices, research, and industry trends presents a challenge. The IPA Institute’s live webinars are a cost-effective way for companies to educate groups across sites in different locations simultaneously. Many clients have established a “lunch-and-learn” webinar series. Each webinar series addresses a topic of concern to their organizations via IPA research or IPA Institute course modules.

When it comes to professional development, convenience is a key factor for many individuals. The IPA Institute offers a variety of short webinars that are available for individuals to download and view on their own time and at their own pace. These webinars address common industry topics, originating from IPA Institute course modules and IPA research studies.
