This tutor-based online certification programme provides a structured, step-by-step introduction to the evaluation process, with particular emphasis on the approaches and methods used to design and conduct credible evaluations. Its rich methodological content exposes participants to a broad range of evaluation perspectives and practical choices, helping them understand how different approaches and methods can be selected and adapted to the purpose, questions and context of an evaluation. The programme also engages with current debates in the evaluation community, including the evaluation of complex interventions, the management of methodological and operational constraints, and the growing role of technology and Artificial Intelligence. Through examples, practical activities and expert guidance, participants develop the judgement, confidence and competence required to design, manage or conduct evaluations in real-world settings.
