We are excited to announce the new NCI Charrette System™ Certificate Training and NCI Charrette Management and Facilitation™ Certificate Training, now including:

• video footage that places you into key charrette moments
• new case studies illustrating applications ranging from sustainable planning to comprehensive and transportation planning

NCI Charrette System™ Certificate Training
This new 3-day training is a fresh, new course that illustrates the capabilities of the NCI Charrette System for all aspects of community planning. Participants learn the practical Charrette System skills, tools, and techniques through new interactive, hands-on exercises, practiced on four case study types:

• sustainable community planning
• regional/comprehensive planning
• transportation/infrastructure planning
• transit oriented development planning

 
This training combines our previous “Introduction to Dynamic Planning” and “Continuing Dynamic Planning” trainings.
 
NCI Charrette Management and Facilitation™ Certificate Training
This new 1.5-day advanced training will equip charrette managers with the essential tools and techniques required to handle unique, fast paced, and constantly changing, multiple-day charrettes. Participants learn:

• the essentials of detailed, day-to-day charrette management
• the indispensable skills of public meeting planning and facilitation

 
Both trainings include new interactive, hands-on exercises based on recent charrette case studies. They are ideal for planners and designers specializing in sustainable development, transportation, public works, and transit as well as citizen advocacy.
