Professional development for planners and built-environment teams

Ideeplan Academy shares the working methods behind our planning, GIS, masterplanning and technical documentation practice. Programmes are being prepared for individual professionals and for organisations training their own teams.

A wider curriculum is in development

Beyond the programmes above, Ideeplan Academy is designing a broader practical curriculum across planning, GIS, masterplanning, environmental work, technical documentation and public-sector practice. These subjects are planned, not yet available — nothing is priced, enrollable or certificated.

View the planned curriculum

Organisations — firms, development companies, ministries, planning authorities, local governments, infrastructure agencies, universities, professional bodies, NGOs and international project teams — can read how group and institutional training is being prepared. No cohort, fee, schedule or partnership exists. Institutional and organisation training.

The Academy is being built as 204 professional subject areas and 51 applied professional courses across seven tracks. 51 of those courses now have written teaching content — scenario, brief, modules, lessons, exercises, deliverable and marking criteria — published for review, and 0 remain in outline. Video lessons have not yet been recorded. Written teaching content may be available for review below. Nothing can be enrolled in, purchased or certificated.
