IPAA NSW Public Programs & Short Courses
The Institute offers an unequalled range of learning and
development opportunities to support workforce development
requirements through a targeted public program of short courses.
Each year the Institute consults with public sector organisations
to identify learning and development needs and design targeted
courses that support government policy priorities and organisational
workplace initiatives.
For ease of reference training courses from our 2009 program are
grouped into the following key subject areas:

Our approach to learning
The Institute understands that adults learn best when the
course content is directly relevant to their needs and when
theory is reinforced in interactive sessions and practical
exercises.
Our facilitators use the principles of adult learning as
a basis for delivering training programs. This approach incorporates
action learning that builds on and uses participants’ prior
knowledge and experience. This approach provides skills,
knowledge and tools to take back to the workplace and apply
immediately.
About our facilitators
Facilitators engaged by the Institute have extensive experience
working with government organisations. As well as being experts
in their fields, they have held senior management positions
in the public sector. This background enhances their ability
to respond to the issues raised by participants, and to provide
practical examples and case studies.
Venues
Where possible we use government owned or not-for-profit
organisation's training rooms to deliver our public courses.
We can arrange a venue to deliver courses specifically for
your organisation if required.
Catering
All our public training events are fully catered. The menu
includes a selection of quality dishes and refreshments. When
advised, we will ensure that special dietary needs are met.
