GICHD Training approaches
INSTRUCTOR-LED COURSES
In-person training
These are courses for which both participants and trainers are physically present, in the same location, and interact directly. Such courses involve real-time communication, hands-on activities and immediate feedback.
Virtual training
This type of training takes place in interactive virtual classrooms, providing opportunities for participants and trainers to interact and the flexibility for participants to access the training from anywhere with an internet connection.
Hybrid training
These are courses conducted in physical locations, but for which participants and trainers also have the option of joining online.
SELF-PACED LEARNING
E-learning
These engaging self-paced training courses, which include assessments at the end of the modules and a final assessment, can easily be fitted around participants’ work schedules. They usually take 1-5h to complete and can be paused at any time. They might be a prerequisite for in-person, virtual and blended courses.
Online case studies
Interactive, self-paced online case studies are courses without assessment. They can be paused any time and the programme will bookmark the participant’s progress.
BLENDED LEARNING
A blended learning approach combines in-person components, attendance at virtual sessions and self-study. It provides a flexible and varied learning experience.
Methodology
Using a range of active learning methods and a learner-centred approach, the GICHD has designed an accessible and effective learning journey for organisations and individuals seeking to enhance their knowledge of and skills in mine action. We focus on making learning easy and enjoyable.
We employ the following approaches to learning:
Scenario-based training
Using real cases, simulations and role play, we enable you to practise skills in a safe environment.
Peer learning
We encourage collaborative learning among participants. This creates a supportive space for the sharing of experience, ideas and best practices.
Personalised support (tutoring / coaching)
Sometimes you might need personalised assistance. We offer one-on-one or small group sessions tailored to your specific learning needs.
Communities of practice
We foster learning communities that bring together like-minded individuals. Here, you can exchange knowledge, experience and resources with fellow learners.
In addition to our scheduled courses, we provide specialised training on request. Feel free to submit your request to the following e-mail address: training@gichd.org.
