CUSTOMISED
TRAINING FOR ORGANISATIONS
Customised Training
services are courses delivered directly to your organisation, team or
partners. This provides opportunities to:
-
Approach training as a staff and organisational development exercise
- Ensure
all staff acquire even skills and are on the same wavelength
- Develop
the organisation's work, for example, by developing the same project
concept
- Focus
on the unique challenges facing a particular organisation
Customised
Training can also have further advantages of greater time flexibility,
possibility for follow-up and reduced cost per person.
ELD
frequently provides training directly to organisations and their partners.
While this often means adapting existing training modules to suit a particular
organisation, this can also require completely designing courses from
scratch based on the client's specifications. Most popular courses include
Reporting Skills / Professional Writing and Project Planning / Developing
Project Proposals.
All
Customised Training programmes are developed through discussion and negotiation
with clients, and conducted by highly experienced resource persons with
extensive development knowledge and understanding of the local context.
Some
recent Customised Training assignments have included:
Reporting

Case
Study Writing Training for SNV Asia (Laos and Cambodia)
This
assignment was part face-to-face and part distance learning. After initial
workshops were run at 4 locations in South-East Asia, participants drafted
Case Studies and sent these for feedback. A final batch of Case Studies
was selected, and these were developed further with their authors before
final editing for publication.
"I
truly appreciate your professionalism."

Reporting
Skills Training for World Vision International (Canada) in Rwanda
More
than 20 participants from various World Vision International country programmes
came together in Kigali for training on Reporting Skills & Professional
Writing.
This
workshop opened my eyes. I used to be afraid of reports, but now everything
is clear.

A
senior staff of Biodiversity in Rome was coached in Turkey on Professional
Writing and Presentation Skills in the South of Turkey. One major output
was an abstract developed for the IAALD XIIIth World Congress to be presented

"The
training with you was really good and the mindmapping is getting clearer
to me day by day. I look forward to following up and preparing the paper
for IAALD."
Other
recent customised services in Nepal included a customised Presentation
Skills training for the United Nations World Food Program (UNWFP) as well
as a Case Study and Newsletter Writing Workshop for the International
