Congratulations on enrolling in the IPC Professional Advocate Certification Course — one of the most comprehensive parent advocacy training programs in the country. You now have full access to all 36 categorized training videos organized across 5 progressive learning categories.
Work through each category from top to bottom, beginning with Foundations and progressing through Practical Tools & Strategies, Developing Advocacy Skills, Special Education Law, and Mastery & Advanced Topics. Each category opens with an Overview session — watch it first to orient yourself to what that category covers. You may work at your own pace; there is no time limit on completing the course.
When you have completed all 36 training videos, you will take the IPC Certified Professional Advocate Assessment. This comprehensive assessment tests the knowledge and skills you have acquired across all five categories. You must achieve a score of 80% or higher to earn your official certification. Upon passing, you will receive your IPC Certified Professional Advocate credential — a 3-year certification that is a mark of genuine mastery and commitment to children with disabilities.
