Certificate Trainings for Individuals: Online Synchronous

This course represents a collaborative project management system centered on the co-design process using charrettes and includes:

  • Project assessment tools for gauging the length and cost of a charrette using a project budget, political considerations and design difficulty,
  • Nuts-and-bolts tools needed for managing a multiple-day charrette,
  • Introduction to diversity, equity and inclusion and ways to make charrette processes more inclusive, and
  • Approaches for dealing with conflict.

This training combines the previous Core and Advanced courses into one with the addition of some new content. Upon completion of the course, you will know how to plan for, host, conduct and facilitate a multi-day charrette.

“Best virtual training I've attended. The combination of discussion, Miro practice, and asynchronous videos provided a variety of experiences and opportunities to learn.” Matthew Shew

Course Format
