Consulting judgment, difficult meetings, and simulation-style preparation
Parliamentor is an independent study companion. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a substitute for the National Association of Parliamentarians (NAP) or the American Institute of Parliamentarians (AIP). Exam requirements and scoring are set only by those organizations.
This path is tuned for the advanced consulting, presiding, and simulation work associated with PRP preparation.
