Q: What is the difference between a Virtual Live Class and a Live In-Person Class?
In a Virtual LiveClassyou sit in the comfort of your office or home and attend the class on your computer. You will receive a package before the first class session with your manual and other classroom aids.
You use your computer with a camera and microphone, and will see the instructor and classmates on your screen. if the class is large, and you want to see all other attendees at all times, you may need to purchase a second monitor and cable. These are about $100 and easy to set up.
LIVE - The instructor and all other attendees are live on your computer screen. You, the instructor and all other classmates can talk at any time. Ask questions, make comments, share your successes and challenges about your clients and projects.
Are you not sure if you have the technical ability to attend these classes? You will not have to buy any software. We will send you information about how to download an app that makes all this possible, quick and easy! We will tell you how to easily set up a second monitor screen.

Q: Is Living In Place another name for "aging-in-place" and "universal design?"
NO. Living In Place is the practice of making all homes accessible, comfortable and safe, for everyone. Aging-in-place is directed towards older adults. Universal design is only a set of principles, Many professionals now refer to CLIPP as the “How-To” manual for universal design.
Q: What is CLIPP - Why has it captured international interest? Why is it working?
Certified Living In Place Professional (CLIPP) is a fundamental shift to a simpler, complete approach to improving accessibility, comfort and safety in all home and public spaces with designs and products
CLIPP is the only program officially Endorsed by the National Kitchen & Bath Association. CLIPP is a total market approach to making all homes accessible, comfortable and safe, regardless of the current or future occupants needs or age.
Our research into earlier programs led to some basic conclusions. First, and most significant, they did not succeed in broad recognition or approval from either industry or consumer. Programs based on aging are inherently flawed because they focus on a segmented group and do not address the needs of all consumers or businesses. Universal Design, while we support the concept, holds it's own irony because it is a set of principles, not design ideas, nor practical solutions or business framework. All businesses know that a limited market focus results in a limited business. Even more important may be that when providers isolate a consumer into a specific group, they often resist and mistrust the provider. This resistance too often leads to denial of needs, therefore services and products, and is almost impossible to overcome when selling only group (age) based services and products.
The Living In Place Institute has developed, through a concerted effort, programs that enjoin all industry professionals in both program development and continuing participation from the entire industry and focuses on all consumers, regardless of their current or future needs or age. Included are designers, modification contractors, builders, developers and architects, trades experts, medical and non-medical care providers, real estate and home inspectors, product manufacturers, and many others.
This new methodology recognizes the responsibility of all industry professionals to network and develop business strategies for understanding common and unique issues and creating conventional business approaches of providing design and product solutions in every home.

To help ensure all personnel working in a home are free of a security risk to the client, each CLIPP professional is strongly encouraged to conduct a background check on their employees, as allowed by law, as well as encourage their subcontractors to do the same.
