IPRA members and nonmembers can access the IPRA University. Users will log in using the same credentials to access the IPRA Member Portal. Same username, same password. Guest visitors will be able to view the course catalog, though we recommend logging in to view pricing, subscriptions, and learner progress.

It is free to create an account and join IPRA University – there is no paywall to view the LMS website and available content. As an added benefit to IPRA Members, there will be select zero-cost courses available, as well as pay-per-view content to purchase individual content pieces based on your educational needs.

For those interested in the full LMS experience, an annual LMS subscription is available for purchase. In this first year, it will include access to 1.5 CEUs through Legacy Content for a very affordable price per user. Furthermore, Pay-Per-View (PPV) content will be available and added throughout the year, for an additional cost.

For those who have purchased the Skills Development Webinar Series (SDWS) Subscription -- which is separate from the LMS subscription-- users will be able to access the eleven courses for either Wednesdays or Thursdays through logging into the LMS. This includes the live experience, and access to the recordings.

The learning management system (LMS) will include CEU and non-CEU educational opportunities.

Our CEU opportunities include the Legacy Content, which features recognizable peers who have presented at a previous event, distinguishing themselves as valuable contributors to the field and to our online university; and the Skills Development Webinar Series, entering its twelfth year offering exceptional content from knowledgeable speakers within and beyond parks, recreation, and conservation.  Both Legacy and SDWS content are 60 minutes long sessions and are pre-approved for 0.1 CEUs.

Microlearning is perfect for professionals on the go. These 15-minute sessions make learning easy during those busy summer months. Complete a quick session over a cup of coffee. Learn best practices for mentorship, or how to expand your professional network. Microlearning is a perk to those with an LMS Subscription.

Lunch & Learns feature presentations from commercial members of IPRA. The live webinars will be available for members and nonmembers to attend, though the recorded sessions will only be available on IPRA University as an added benefit to the LMS Subscription.

Yes, courses included with the LMS subscription will be available on demand upon purchasing the subscription. Furthermore, IPRA University will continue to roll out new content throughout the year. Our Spring 2026 content catalog will include all available courses, with varying pricing dependent on a user’s subscription. The Legacy Content will have a lifespan of two years, and users will be able to view and review these courses without time constraints.

Certain courses, such as the Skills Development Webinar Series, will expire on January 31 of the following year. Lunch & Learn recordings will continue to operate on a rolling schedule, replacing the previous monthly recordings.

Each course will vary, so please check the course descriptions to see which qualify for continuing education. Courses such as Skills Development Webinar Series and Legacy Content are pre-approved for 0.1 CEUs.

Yes, you’re able to pause a course, and the system will remember where you last left off. Courses like our Legacy Content are divided into 10–15-minute video sections for a user to be able to complete during or outside their work schedule. There’s no need to finish a course in one sitting. Also, after completing a course, you’ll be able to review the course as a viewer, so you won’t need to worry about retaking the entire course if you’d like to revisit a slide or knowledge check question.

You’ll just need a device that can connect to the internet! Whether on a cellphone, an iPad, desktop, or Mac, users will be able to sign in and access their online learning.

Subscriptions will be limited to individual LMS accounts. This means that an LMS Subscription is linked to a single user. This is so continued education credits are correctly linked to professionals based on their activity within the LMS.
