With over 35 years’ experience of providing training and professional development in international development, we know our courses are a good offer.
We hold that one fundamental element of capacity building is training.
We believe training should offer a chance to reflect on your individual practice, gain new understanding and skills, and learn about innovative approaches in development to promote sustainable change.
Through interactive approaches and dedication, training enables you to complete a course confident in your ability to take what you have learnt and share with your organisation and wider so you can have a positive impact. Training has the potential to make sustainable change at both the individual, organisational and wider level.
Training also offers a unique opportunity for mixed groups of people representing different types and scales of organisations to come together, learn and listen to each other’s practice and foster commonality. This can be incredibly enlightening: hearing how another sector or organisation actually tackles and addresses the same issues you have. This the beginning of innovation and realising that there are multiple ways of dealing with issues.
Our interactive and participatory training approach ensures that all course participants are engaged and learn new skills through doing, reflection and sharing.
Our learning experience takes place in formal and informal settings designed to appeal to different learning styles. It reaches beyond the formal course setting to include:
Individuals coming on our courses always benefit: you will gain on a personal level (expanded awareness and ideas, relationships, creativity, hindsight) and through enhanced work-related skills which you can confidently take back and put into practice.
