Sharpe Virtual Academy

sharpe virtual training

Sharpe Virtual Academy is a series of three online seminars that provide our top-notch education for gift planning and development officers of all levels of experience. Launched in 2020, we condensed the content from our in-person seminars and presented it virtually. In response to the overwhelming popularity, we are continuing to offer this valuable educational tool.

Registration is affordable, and recordings are available (for an added fee) to registrants for 30 days after the seminar, regardless of attendance, so Sharpe Group education is accessible for any schedule or budget.

All three Sharpe Virtual courses contain four sessions that are presented over the course of two days. Each day will include two hours of live presentation by the same expert consultants who teach our in-person seminars, and participants will be able to ask questions during Q&A times. Each course is approved for four CFRE continuing education credits.
