Individual training

You can start the online tutorial anytime and work your way through the six modules at your own pace.

Please note, individual training does not include additional live support or training in a virtual environment. You can, however, contact us with your questions.

Group workshop

Taking place over a three-week period, the group workshop combines self-paced modular learning with an opportunity to practically apply MANRS principles in a virtual environment. Participants are expected to dedicate around an hour each weekday to the workshop.

You’ll have access to our e-learning platform where you’ll find all the course materials. At the end of each week, we’ll have a video call where you’ll be able to ask any questions and meet other participants. You’ll also be part of a Telegram or WhatsApp group where you can ask workshop-related questions at any time.
