To safeguard against COVID-19, IMPLAN has cancelled all in-person training until further notice. In response, the IMPLAN Education Services team will be offering virtual training series for those in need of an education of the fundamentals of economic impact analysis.
IMPLAN offers two virtual training formats designed for IMPLAN users or for those in need of an introduction to the fundamentals of economic impact analysis. If you are ready to learn the best practices in IMPLAN, sign up today!

Is the content of the live training and on-demand training the same?
- Yes, the content is largely the same and the same examples are used. However, live training will cover new data and feature releases and even provide some spoilers for what is to come! (On-Demand reflects data and features available as of May 2020). Due to the interactive nature of live training, data and analysis options will be explored further as applicable to questions that arise.
Is the on-demand version a recording of a live class with participants?
- The on-demand version is not a recording of a live class, but instead a pre-recorded series of video modules with the same instructors as the live training.
Is there a minimum number of registrants required to keep the cost at $750 per person for the on-demand training?
