Webinars
Non-English webinars:
Webinars are 1-2 hour long sessions, usually held once a month, via Zoom, that can either be stand-alone topics or a series of topics that connect from one to the next. The sessions can be taken independently, but for a webinar series, the material builds on itself as the year goes on so we encourage people to take the whole series.
Each webinar costs $15 for IACA members, $30 for non-members. (The series pass is no longer available for the Tactical series since we're already 2/3rds of the way through the year.) If a session is free, it will be noted in the description. All students who participate live will receive a Certificate of Attendance. All IACA members who register for a webinar will receive Continuing Education credits for that session, regardless if they attend live or receive the recording.
Some (but not all) webinars are recorded and can be viewed in the webinar library by IACA members after 45 days have passed from the original air date. For previous webinar series and virtual conferences, please see the bottom of this page.
