EWB-UK strives to provide its members with high quality training so that they are equipped with the right skills to tackle a variety of projects. For this, knowledge should be fostered and shared amongst stakeholders, including those in the professional network. Internal courses include Water and Sanitation, Energy, Shelter and International Development in general. External courses may also be advertised through EWB-UK and some courses are run in collaboration with other organisations such as RedR. Click here for the EWB-UK Training Homepage

Over the next five years, EWB-UK hopes to expand its training programme significantly to provide training at introductory, intermediate and specialist levels. Courses will be designed to raise awareness and to provide participants with some of the skills and experience which they may need whilst working overseas.
