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.

ONLINE WORKSHOP SESSIONS:

Wednesday 1 April, 12 – 1.30 pm: Exploring community-led development frameworks. Tools to identify and further develop your critical reflective practice
Wednesday 3 June, 12 – 1.30 pm: Unpacking the tasks of the micro-credential as they apply to your case study and your work
Wednesday 1 July 12 – 1.30 pm: Sharing progress to date, peer-to-peer feedback and identifying next steps
Wednesday 26 August, 12 – 1.30 pm: Getting to success. Critical reflection to support your completion of the qualification tasks

"Just make the time, and do it. You will learn something about yourself and you will deliver your kaupapa with more confidence, allowing space for others to be seen and heard. That's so rewarding." Past programme participant.
