The IPI is an accreditation body for higher planning education and training programmes. Upon application for accreditation by one of the programme providers (‘programme’ is referred to throughout these Guidelines as a third level planning course), rigorous assessment of such applications, and an applicant programme’s capacity to deliver a planning education programme grounded in sustainable spatial planning and incorporating specialist teaching and education/training modules, is undertaken by the IPI’s Technical and Education Committee (T&E Committee). In addition to setting the educational standards for programmes to be accredited by the IPI, in accordance with other roles and functions of the IPI, these Guidelines also refer to Continuing Professional Development, Educational Outreach of the IPI, and Planning Research.
