Mike Phillips Posted May 28, 2022 at 04:01 PM Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 at 04:01 PM My business partner sent me a link to a university course that provides the requisite training to become a registered parliamentarian. The course was around $350, as I recall. At this point, I can't find the link he sent. So let me ask: What course or courses are available that you would recommend? EDIT: I just found the link. The price has gone up significantly. Any thoughts on this path to becoming an RP?https://il.wisconsin.edu/course-catalog/introduction-to-parliamentary-procedure-dynamics-of-leadership/c216-m28-14o/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. J. Posted May 30, 2022 at 07:57 PM Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 at 07:57 PM The information in the link states "Students who finish this course and pass the examination with a grade of C or higher are eligible for membership in the National Association of Parliamentarians without further testing." There is difference between becoming a member of this organization and becoming a "Registered Parliamentarian." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood, so let me ask the question this way. Is this college-level course a good way to work towards becoming an RP, or is there a better pathway you would recommend?

I simply studied for the membership exam on my own and, as I recall, did pretty well on it. All I can say if that you have to become a member before you can become an RP. Which route you take depends a great deal on how well you feel you can study on your own. Or, you may be able to find a local unit or an individual member offering a course culminating in taking the exam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
