Basic Economic Development Courses (BEDC)
Providing a solid foundation for entry-level economic development
practitioners, Basic Economic Development Courses serve as the equivalent to
IEDC’s Introduction to Economic Development
course in preparation for the IEDC Certification
exam.
Accreditation by IEDC ensures that each BEDC covers subject areas determined
to be the core building blocks in any economic development organization.
These courses are run independently from IEDC and independently from one
another. If you would like more information or would like to register, please
use the given contact for each course for more detailed information.
