Why Study at the IPA?

  • IPA courses are part-time and designed for those who want an accredited qualification while at the same time needing to balance work and family commitments.
  • IPA courses are highly tailored to address the unique issues and challenges faced by public sector managers and staff.
  • IPA courses offer practical skills development and relevant public sector case studies as part of the curriculum to reinforce learning and relate theory to real work situations.
  • IPA tutors have a wealth of knowledge and depth of experience through working with a wide range of public sector organisations over many years.  The IPA celebrated its 50th year of working with the Public Service in 2007.
  • IPA courses are accredited by the National University of Ireland and/or other professional bodies at Certificate, Diploma and/or Professional levels.
  • Located next to Lansdowne Road DART Station, the IPA’s Training & Education Centre offers state of the art facilities for its students.
  • Students can access to the Institute’s specialist library and its information, reference and lending services.

Who typically chooses to study with the IPA?

  • Our students work across all areas of the Irish public sector.  Together, they bring with them a whole of government knowledge which enriches their learning experience.
  • Many of our students already have a primary degree but need to deepen their knowledge and develop specific competencies in specialist subject areas such as Change Management, Project Management, People Management, Managing Service Delivery and Management Development.
  • There are also students who are returning to study after many years and are looking for a blended programme that will support them with the provision of comprehensive learning materials as well as face to face contact with experienced and supportive tutors.
