We understand the ever-changing challenges you face and the solutions you need to be at the forefront when helping others. From ‘Train the Trainer’ (TTT) to our ‘Leadership Development Programme’ (LDP), our training courses have been designed specifically for the needs of the NGO and charity sector. Be it at our training centre in Birmingham or via our new virtual space, we can support your team with a variety of courses, delivered in a way that suits the needs of your organisation its employees.
Where do we work?
Since our foundation in 2013, we have trained humanitarian practitioners from over 40 countries. With access to some of the world’s most hard-to-reach areas and equipped with faith-based understanding, we are able to train in humanitarian hot zones such as Sudan, South Sudan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq.
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, our Learning and Development team translated our courses into online programmes. This has enabled us to further extend the reach of our learning experiences and benefit more humanitarians.
