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:

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."

Professional Writing & Presentation Skills for Biodiversity (Italy) in Turkey

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 in early 2010.

"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 Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
