[ApaIllinois] Upcoming 2012 AICP Exam Review Webinar Series

[Paula Freeze, APA-IL Editor]

In late 2011, the Illinois Chapter as well as several state and division chapters of the American Planning Association banded together to cooperatively host a series of educational webinars for members of the respective organizations. During 2012, in addition to a number of webinars eligible for Certification Maintenance (CM), the chapters will host a series of FREE webinars in February and March 2012 to help prepare planners for the AICP (American Institute of Certified Planners) exam. Specifically, experienced instructors from the Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina chapters will present information during the 2012 AICP Exam Review webinar series.
 
Beginning February 10, 2012 through March 30, 2012, instructors will present during 2 hour webinars about the AICP exam each Friday morning between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. EST. The webinars will cover the following topics:
 
Exam Overview
Spatial Analysis of Planning Practice
Functional Areas of Planning Practice
Public Participation and Social Justice
Plan Making and Implementation
Research and Quantitative Methods
Planning Law
AICP Code of Ethics
Planning History and Theory
 
Specific course information will be available soon, as well as materials for review in advance of each presentation. Up to 1000 participants from chapters participating in the webinar cooperative will be able to participate in the course at no cost. Most presentation materials will be available after the meeting, posted to select state chapter websites, but some material is proprietary to the instructor and will only be available during the live webinar. You do not have to pre-register to participate in the webinar series. Information about how to access the webinar will be posted soon.
