In February 2014, the CIAAA launched an online delivery format of the popular Leadership Training Program. These courses are held online in webinar format, which allows for group interaction and simulates the class-learning environment. We launched with our flagship 502C: Management Strategies and Organizational Techniques and are excited to roll out the next two online courses focused on legal issues in athletic administration. The courses take place completely online over two consecutive nights of the week.
Feedback from our first course delivery (February, 2014):
The CIAAA is a really great source for professional development and resources. Having it go nation-wide will only make it better!
Very convenient to be at home and complete the course. I also found the program very easy to use! It was great to have the ability to interact with ADs from across the country!
