The training courses offered by RedR India are yet to be part of a recognized training accreditation scheme. However, participants will be able to benefit from the brand recognition of RedR India, through the certification.

The course including all the training aids and reading materials are delivered in English. Additional support is provided by the training team to those who are not comfortable in English.

All the participants will receive the training materials along with important reference materials and details of fellow participants in a flash drive towards the end of the training.

The Essentials of Humanitarian Practice (EHP) is the most recommended course for those who are new to the sector. It gives an overview of the humanitarian sector, beginning with essential principles, frameworks and standards which are non-negotiable. It also highlights on the roles and mandates of different actors ranging from the Government, to private players and UN Agencies.

The training courses offered by RedR India are recognized nationally and internationally. Attending our open training courses will help you to broaden your understanding on humanitarian work and acquire new skills and knowledge to coordinate on large scale humanitarian response programs.

We will issue an invitation letter to the selected participants, to help them secure their visa for the training course.
