Customized training to meet your needs

Each of the primary seminars was designed as a comprehensive three-day program. The programs can either be presented in their entirety for in-depth coverage of the topic, or they can be presented in one-half and one-day segments allowing you to address only those topics of particular interest to your agency (refer to the course outlines above to see specific topics available). This also allows you the flexibility to combine topics from different seminars to create a training program tailored to meet your agency's needs.

Experienced trainers

IPMAAC trainers are experienced human resources professionals who provide both the state-of-the-art knowledge and real world experience necessary to make your training programs make a difference in your work environment.
