Frequently Asked Questions

I want to be certified or receive certification in restorative practices. Should I get a Master's Degree, a Graduate Certificate or become a Licensed Trainer?
I want to be certified or receive certification in restorative practices. Should I get a Master's Degree, a Graduate Certificate or become a Licensed Trainer?

These are very different but related options:

Our Master of Science in Restorative Practices is an advanced degree that will prepare you to make systemic changes in your work environment and community.

Our Graduate Certificate will prepare you to become an expert practitioner in your setting. This program establishes a foundational understanding of how restorative practices work.

Our Licensed Trainers are qualified to teach basic restorative practices skills, from circles and restorative conferences to more informal everyday practices in their school or region using IIRP’s licensed materials and training scripts. The Training of Trainers event does not require enrollment in the IIRP Graduate School, but IIRP certificate and master’s degree holders are eligible to attend the Training of Trainers at no cost as an alumni benefit. You must attend one of our Training of Trainers events to earn a license.

All three options require you to attend our Basic Restorative Practices professional development event.

I have a payment plan. How do I register for courses?

Your monthly payments include registration costs for the professional development and online registrations needed to complete your coursework.

In order to register for the in-person portion of a blended course without making additional payment – i.e., a professional development event, conference or symposium – Student Services will issue you a code to apply at the time of registration. This way you can select the professional development event that you want to attend and complete the registration on your own.

If I attended an event at my school or organization, does that count as part of the graduate course?
If I attended an event at my school or organization, does that count as part of the graduate course?

The IIRP and our licensed trainers are often invited to bring our professional development events to schools and other organizations for inservice trainings. If you have attended a full day of IIRP training, that professional development event may be part of our graduate school curriculum.

Please request a Certificate of Attendance from the instructor of the event to document the name of the event and the date of your attendance.

Then contact Student Services to see if there is an online graduate course that can be paired with your learning experience.

Can you tell me about transfer credits?
Can you tell me about transfer credits?
  • Due to the specialized nature of the Institute’s programs, transfer credits will not be accepted, with the exception of IIRP coursework offered as ORLA 5340 and taught by IIRP faculty at the Summer Principals Academy, Teachers College, Columbia University, New York, New York.
  • As an accredited graduate school, our courses have been recognized by other higher-education institutions, depending upon the requirements of the receiving institution.
Can I earn graduate credits to be eligible for a pay increase at my job?
Can I earn graduate credits to be eligible for a pay increase at my job?

We are an accredited graduate school, and many of our students' employers recognize our coursework. You may begin earning graduate credit through our Graduate Certificate program by taking  four courses (12 credits). If you require more than 12 credits, you may apply to the Master of Science program and select from a variety of electives. All of the coursework completed in one program may be applied to another. There is no application fee to apply.

The only required in-person event is our Basic Restorative Practices four-day event, which can be taken in locations across the U.S. and around the world. Otherwise, you may complete all your coursework online. Other blended courses may be taken as electives.
