Training courses

Published courses are listed at /training (opens in a new tab). Each course page describes what is covered, how it is delivered — in person, online or a mix — its difficulty, and the cohorts you can join.

A course is the syllabus. A cohort is a particular run of it, with its own dates, sessions and fee. You enrol in a cohort, not in a course.

Choose a cohort and follow the enrolment form. If the cohort has a fee, you go through the usual checkout and your place is confirmed on payment.

Non-members can enrol where the organization allows it and get a guest dashboard through a private link, without creating an account.

My Training (opens in a new tab) lists what you are enrolled in alongside what else is available. Opening an enrolment gives you the course dashboard: lessons, your progress, upcoming sessions, assignments and, at the end, your certificate.

Courses are organised into modules, and modules into lessons. The platform tracks which lessons you have completed, so you can stop and resume without losing your place.

Assignments are submitted from the course dashboard. Your instructor grades them there, and feedback comes back to the same place. Attendance at live sessions is recorded by the instructor.

A cohort completes when you have met its requirements — usually finishing the lessons, passing the assessments, and attending enough sessions. The exact rule is set per course.

Once you are marked complete and NIWE has configured a training certificate template, the certificate downloads from your course dashboard. If you have completed everything and see no certificate, the template is the usual missing piece; ask NIWE.
