Delaney is pleased to announce dates for three Delaney courses in 2024. These courses help engagement practitioners build on their skills and go beyond the training they may have received in the past. Though having completed the IAP2 Certificate in Public Participation is not a requirement, it is recommended. Here’s what people are saying about these courses:
