Become a Certified Public Participation Professional!

The Certification Program is a professional designation available to IAP2 Canada members. 

Certification proves, through independent assessment, that you have demonstrated the basic knowledge and skills required to perform the role of public participation (P2) professional. IAP2 created the Certification Program in response to requests by members and practitioners around the globe for a professionalization of the field and standards for practitioners. 

Professional certification requires a formal and independent assessment that an individual meets industry-defined standards for performance.

Contact us if you are interested in learning more about the Certification process 

For detailed information on the Program, please review the Frequently Asked Questions and Policies and Procedures Manual.

The Professional Certification Program offers two levels of professional certification: 

Certified Public Participation Professional (CP3) 

The first step in the Program is a confirmation that you have the skills required to meet the Five Core Competencies.  This evidence based assessment ensures that you meet IAP2's standards as a professional in the field.
