The course addresses the challenges faced by development professionals in project planning and proposal writing in a way that allows for maximum practical work.

HOW IT WORKS

LIVE SESSIONS & OFF-LINE STUDY

This is combination of daily live video sessions conducted using ZOOM and off-line self study.

As soon as you sign up you get immediate, lifetime access to all the course materials - downloadable course videos, worksheets and extra materials. Each day, for 5 consecutive days, we meet live at 09:00 UTC (see current UTC time here) for around 60 – 90 minutes to review / preview and deal with questions. Each day you are given tasks (videos and exercises) to complete before the next session.

PERSONAL WORK REVIEW

A Personal Work Review is also included. In the week following the course you can send your own proposal for personal, one-to-one feedback from the instructor.
