Training Courses
Channel Research recognises the value of investing in our professional environment to ensure that we and our consultants are continually identifying, reproducing and applying best practice in assessments. We have, therefore, made it one of our core objectives to nurture and develop the expertise of the professional community working within humanitarian and conflict-related assistance. This is now expanding to include those working in corporate community relations. We aim to improve the exchange of lessons learnt from evaluations and the quality of global evaluation knowledge through workshops and training.
