6 courses in 2 streams

This year, 6 specialization courses are offered through the SCP. The courses are organized and delivered in 2 separate specialization streams:

  • Educational Planning and Analysis (EPA) stream concentrates on concepts, tools and techniques related to educational planning.
  • Educational Planning and Management (EPM) stream concentrates on concepts and skills in the area of management of educational systems, programmes and projects.

 

Credits and certification

Upon completion of the course or courses taken, the trainee receives a certificate of participation from IIEP indicating the title and dates of each course attended.

A participant taking a specialization course and fulfilling stipulated assessment requirements is granted the full number of credits defined for the course. The credits obtained through the specialization courses can be transferred to the Advanced Training Programme (ATP) in order to eventually complete the ATP and obtain the IIEP recognized as a Master in Educational Planning and Management.

To qualify for the ATP certification, a candidate is required to take 3 specialization courses. Admission to the full ATP is conditional upon submission of a separate application and the acceptance of the candidature by the Selection Committee.
