International Certificate in Intergenerational Practice (ICIP)

"All the course leaders made the course accessible and inclusive. The course is thorough and gave me enough knowledge to feel that I clearly understand what intergenerational work means. The modules are well organised with real-world examples which helped to reinforce the learning. I am truly grateful that I found this course as it has opened up a whole new scope of work for me, as I think about what is next in my career". (Student, ICIP Edition 4, 2023).

" So helpful to have real examples of how brilliant intergenerational work can be and to have given me the tools to explore how it might work in my community. Super kind and helpful tutors." (Student, ICIP Edition 4, 2023).
