What makes us special?

As an organisation, we focus on the things that are important to you. As well as a commitment to knowledge sharing, quality delivery and personal service, we also believe in working in partnership with individuals and organisations. And it is these values that keep clients coming back time and again.


But don't take our word for it. Why not contact us to see for yourself. The friendly IMA International team here in Hurstpierpoint, near Brighton in the UK, promises you a friendly and professional service, whatever your needs.

Why people choose our international development training

Clients say the quality and experience of our trainers sets our international development training apart. Our trainers are all qualified international development practitioners with up-to-date knowledge of their subject. So whether you choose a scheduled course in one of our three international centres, or tailor-made training, you can be sure of a professional and rewarding learning experience.

Our participatory approach is also well received. By ensuring everyone is engaged and involved in the learning process, you benefit from the experience and insight of other development professionals. And that extends to our social programme. Yes, it is fun and entertaining, but more importantly, the social programme provides another opportunity for you to share your learning with development professionals from around the world.

Why not check out real time feedback from other development professionals.
