Training Programmes We Offer

Time Management Training

Time management is very important for all employees in all capacities they work. The consequences of failed time management include missing deadlines, living with excessive stress, and reduced productivity. Our training equips your team with practical tools and techniques to prioritise effectively, meet deadlines, and work with greater focus.

  • Prioritisation frameworks
  • Deadline management
  • Stress reduction techniques
  • Productivity tools

Charity Governance Training

Good governance is the foundation of a well-run charity. Our Charity Governance Training covers the legal duties of trustees, compliance with the UK Charity Commission, financial oversight, and best practices for board management. We help your organisation build a governance structure that is transparent, accountable, and fit for purpose.

  • Trustee legal duties
  • UK Charity Commission compliance
  • Financial oversight
  • Board best practices

Due Diligence Training

Organisations must carry out due diligence checks on donors, beneficiaries, partners, and suppliers. Our Due Diligence Training provides your team with the knowledge and processes to conduct thorough checks, identify risks, and maintain compliance. This is especially critical for NGOs operating in high-risk environments and jurisdictions.

  • Donor due diligence
  • Beneficiary verification
  • Partner vetting processes
  • Risk identification

Hostile Environment Training

Humanitarian aid workers are at risk wherever they are in any developing or conflict-affected country. Our Hostile Environment Training (HET) prepares your staff to operate safely in dangerous environments, covering threat assessment, personal security, first aid in the field, and emergency protocols. This training can be life-saving.

  • Threat assessment
  • Personal security protocols
  • Field first aid
  • Emergency evacuation procedures

Risk Management Training

Whatever the risks, they need to be identified, managed and mitigated. Our Risk Management Training teaches your team to systematically identify, assess, and respond to risks across all aspects of humanitarian programme delivery — from financial risks to operational, reputational, and security risks in the field.

  • Risk identification frameworks
  • Risk registers
  • Mitigation strategies
  • Monitoring and review

Sphere Training

The Sphere Handbook is one of the most widely known and internationally recognised sets of common principles and minimum standards in humanitarian response. Our Sphere Training ensures your team understands and applies these standards across all programme areas — Water & Sanitation (WASH), Food Security, Shelter, and Health.

  • Sphere Handbook standards
  • WASH minimum standards
  • Food security standards
