Presentazione del corso

Effective capacity development requires more than transferring information. Trainers need to understand how adults learn, diagnose learning needs, design relevant learning experiences, facilitate participation and assess whether learning has produced meaningful change. This tutor-based online certification programme provides a step-by-step guide to the adult-learning environment and the full learning-management cycle, helping development practitioners move from technical expertise to effective facilitation and training practice.

The programme is designed for project managers, technical specialists and other development professionals who contribute to capacity development within public institutions, international organizations, civil-society organizations, communities or professional networks and who need to design, facilitate or improve training activities.

Delivery mode

This course is designed to provide comprehensive support for your learning journey. It includes eight self-paced modules, as well as knowledge tests, weekly individual assignments, case studies and a debate forum to foster group discussion. The estimated required effort is of 7.5 hours per week.

Furthermore, a tutor will provide you with individual feedback on your work, and a synchronous learning space will be created during the weekly online events, which last approximately 60 minutes.
