Testimonials

  • "Amelia and Gay are seasoned and fantastic trainers. They use the IAP2 way to teach IAP2... it is refreshing to take part in such an engaging and hands-on training course. Doing it all in person has also made such a big difference in my learning. Their teaching style hits right at the core of what it means to apply and embody IAP2 engagement."

  • "This week of Public Participation training has been incredibly valuable! The 3-course bundle is truly invaluable—getting to learn all of this information in such a short amount of time was an incredible experience. The small group setting (just 15 participants) created the perfect environment for meaningful interaction, and the open, welcoming atmosphere made it easy to share ideas and learn from one another. I’m excited to apply these new methods in my work and build stronger, more effective connections with my community!"

“I can't praise this course enough! The in-person experience was invaluable. Practicing methods, engaging in real-world scenarios, and participating in discussions truly transformed my learning journey.

Amelia and Tannis were knowledgeable, fun and provided a real hands-on approach which allowed me to immediately apply what I was learning, bridging the gap between theory and practice. Whether it was problem-solving in real-world scenarios or discussing nuanced concepts with peers, every session was enlightening.”

“After being involved in numerous engagement projects throughout my career, pursuing certification was a goal I always aspired to achieve. The course material and instructors not only proved to be exceptionally informative but also offered extensive knowledge and practical applications to public engagement, leaving me inspired with a newfound appreciation for the profession and a strong desire to actively contribute to it.”

“The training I received was vital to my current role and was put to use as soon as I returned to work. Our team was asked to deliver a workshop in a time sensitive and high public interest environment. We were able to use the course materials provided and my training to plan and execute an Open Space Discussion and Dotmocracy exercise all within two days. We could not have done that without your course and excellent teaching. Thank you so much and I look forward to attending more IAP2 training with you in the future!"
