Overview

Never before have so many people worldwide been dependent on humanitarian aid as they are today. Yet at the same time, the sector is facing drastic budget cuts and an increasing number of protracted crises that tie up human and financial resources for years. In this challenging environment, issues such as anticipatory humanitarian action and Localization are becoming increasingly important to ensure the long-term quality and effectiveness of humanitarian response.

Our Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) not only provides you with a solid foundation in humanitarian action, but also practical knowledge on key topics such as Localization, anticipatory humanitarian action, and environmental sustainability in a humanitarian context.

Due to the modular course system, you can flexibly adapt your advanced training to your professional background and level of experience—whether you are new to the sector or already have advanced knowledge. Buying our CAS, we provide a digital code at a discounted price, that you can use to redeem for five eligible training courses of your choice, which are necessary to complete the CAS.
