Micro-credential in Community Led Development Facilitation 2026

Are you an experienced facilitator of community-led development processes? This important skill is often not recognised, formally or informally. We are excited to be able to offer our Community-led Development (CLD) qualification.

"If you are working with communities, this is a perfect credential that can improve or build on your practice."  Past programme participant.

This micro-credential will enable you to bring together, reflect on and share all you have learnt about applying community-led development (CLD) facilitation in your mahi.

Registration deadline is 21 March 2026

The micro-credential requires critical reflection, using a case study from your current practice to identify and apply the competencies involved. This is more than just something to add to your resume. This is self-directed learning, but Inspiring Communities facilitators will support you through the process of developing your practice.

1. Wednesday 1 April, 12 – 1.30 pm: Exploring community-led development frameworks. Tools to identify and further develop your critical reflective practice

2. Wednesday 3 June, 12 – 1.30 pm: Unpacking the tasks of the micro-credential as they apply to your case study and your work

3. Wednesday 1 July 12 – 1.30 pm: Sharing progress to date, peer-to-peer feedback and identifying next steps

4. Wednesday 26 August, 12 – 1.30 pm: Getting to success. Critical reflection to support your completion of the qualification tasks
