What participants have said about previous IFHHRO training courses:
I wish to thank you for the opportunity to participate in the TOTs global training. It was a wonderful learning experience and I now feel well equipped in planning, preparing and conducting trainings. The various interactive methods applied by the trainers were a mind opener. The innovative techniques ranging from board games, photo-matching, case studies, role plays, site visit revealed to me that there is more to effective training than good old power point presentations. The international representation of participants spiced up the discussions and sharing of experiences and enabled me to make new contacts, thus widening and strengthening IMLU’s networks. My new skills will go a long way in improving the quality of my training work and therefore of IMLU’s training programmes.

Lots of info on content AND methods. The course systematized a lot of complex elements about training. Very innovative, inspiring and practical.

I would like to say that the ToT was an eye-opener. We already started to use some of the techniques in our own training programme.
