Classroom Learning - DEPRECATED

AFP's professional advancement programs and courses give every professional, no matter what level of experience they have, the opportunity to enrich their skills and add to their knowledge base.

AFP offers several classroom learning opportunities as part of its professional development programming. Most programs are eligible for continuing education credit toward the CFRE credential; some toward the ACFRE credential.

The following courses are typically offered as pre-conference workshops at AFP ICON and sometimes by AFP chapters.

AFP Fundamentals of Fundraising – This introductory, 2-day course provides a comprehensive overview of fundraising principles at the fundamental level. The course content covers the roles and responsibilities of fundraisers, with emphasis on responsibilities you are likely to encounter at the beginning of your career.

AFP CFRE Refresher – This 2-day course uses case studies to provide a “refresher” of the six fundraising knowledge domains and the core principles and concepts that all experienced fundraising professionals should know.

AFP Faculty Training Academy – This 2-day "train the trainer" program ensures quality in education by providing formal training for prospective faculty and instructors of AFP's professional development programs.
