Training

Purpose

This workshop aims to build the capacity of individuals who want to train others on the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS). Although this training is facilitated remotely, the course focuses on how to deliver both face-to-face and remote workshops.

Who should attend?

This course is for people who already know the CHS and want to train others. The course is designed for people who already have experience in facilitating face-to-face and remote training workshops either within their organisation or more widely in the sector, and are interested in gaining expertise on developing session plans and facilitating training on the CHS.

Participants are expected to be familiar with CHS, and have good knowledge and experience of quality and accountability toward people and communities affected by crises and in situations of vulnerability. Experience in working with and applying the CHS is strongly advised as well.

This is not an introductory training course on the Core Humanitarian Standard. If you are seeking this type of training, more suitable courses are available. Please see here or contact us for more information.

Course content

From a trainer’s perspective, the course will explore sessions on the CHS, focusing on how best to train others on the nine commitments of the standard.

Actual sessions on the above will be provided during facilitated time. Participants will undertake a series of group and individual assignments to prepare their own session plans and activities during their assignments. These assignments will be reviewed during the facilitated sessions with feedback from the facilitators and other participants.

Course format

The course will be delivered across 3 weeks and will involve 22 hours study time. This includes six remotely facilitated sessions of 3 hours each and 4 team exercises, lasting around 1 hour each. Participants are expected to commit time for teamwork.

Participants must attend all sessions and complete teamwork exercises to receive their course completion certificate. Participants can then work towards their CHS Alliance Approved Trainer Certificate, which requires facilitating two CHS trainings. 

Pre-workshop assignments and background reading

Participants are asked to (re)read the 2024 Core Humanitarian Standard and Verification Guide. Participants are invited to complete the CHS e-learning course (about 2 hours) if they wish to revise their knowledge of the CHS before starting the workshop.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Explain key learning messages for each of the 9 commitments
• Develop session plans and activities for a training workshop on the Core Humanitarian Standard that is aligned to adult learning principles
• Contextualise the training course to ensure It is relevant to the operating context of their future workshop participants
• Understand the available training resources on CHS
• State adult learning principles and apply them to designing and running training sessions.
