Experience House is a former dormitory building that has been converted into a series of small, rooms that simulate actual work sites–ideal settings for hands-on training. We have attempted to design IPM House to provide a realistic, controlled environment where it is safe to practice the skills and craft of IPM. Courses use a mix of classroom and field training to provide new and experienced PMPs with the skills they need to excel in their profession.
