About EIAPD
New&Experienced
How can EIAPD be new and experienced at the same time? Well, the institute, founded 2023 is new. The founder (Jan) is experienced: 10+ years experience as founding director of a graduate academy in one of the biggest universities in Germany, hundreds of courses as organizer, some thousand particpants, dozens of trainers. We know the business although we just started.
Institute&Network
As EIAPD we are an institute, but the most important asset is our network of experienced and established trainers and facilitators. Courses of a high standard are developed in close cooperation between the EIAPD and trainers. The quality is ensured by the experience of the trainers and the framework provided by the EIAPD. This framework stipulates that even experienced trainers must provide references and that regular further training is expected.
Decentralised&Inspiring
It might seem untypical for an instute providing further education: Based in Telgte, a small town near Netherlands, we provide courses in different cities: Münster, Jena, Cologne and more. Using our network and the network of our trainers we choose cities and book rooms that are inspiring and allow us to work according to our high standard.
