Most competency modules are available. Watch for periodic announcements as the last learning modules are released.
While all competency modules are available online, many are bundled for an in-person or virtual learning experience led by a NIGP instructor. Keep in mind that some modules are short tutorials (less than an hour) while others require several hours of engaging activities. By bundling related modules together for an in-person or virtual classroom setting, you experience several competencies in a single program.
