Call for Expressions of Interest to develop 5-day integrated impact assessment course

The International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA) seeks Expressions of Interest (EOI) from qualified and interested individuals/organisations to develop the outline and course materials (including adapting any readily available resources) for an intensive 5-day residential professional development course in Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA).  The deadline for EoI submissions is 30 September 2012.

The 5-day residential Integrated Impact Assessment Course (IIAC) will be aimed at experienced managers who are responsible for project-based Impact Assessments (environmental, social, health impacts). These managers will typically be in industry or consultant organisations, and will have prior knowledge of impact assessment and are looking to further develop their knowledge and be exposed to recent innovations in the field.

The Course Developer is expected to have IA technical, management and pedagogical knowledge and experience.  They will develop the course outline, materials and follow-up processes (e.g., Participant’s Source Book, Trainers’ Manual including course notes, and Power Points).  The Course Developer will also be responsible for design of an on-line testing procedure and follow-up process. 

Course delivery will not be undertaken by the course developer, but by IAIA using specialist practitioners with international experience. The course development will also be expected to include development of an on-line testing procedure and a process for annual minor updating of materials. EOIs require submission of a proposed approach to develop the course, qualifications of the proposers and contact information for references.
