Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning

Overview

The Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning online course will strengthen your skills in supporting monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) of projects and programmes from programme design through to evaluation and impact assessment, and help you to tackle MEL challenges that you may be facing.

This course provides approximately 25 hours of training over 5 weeks and consists of a blend of ‘real time’ interactive live sessions led by our highly experienced trainers, individual activities and personal feedback from the trainer, collaborative group work, opportunities to interact with participants on the course through discussion forums on the INTRAC learning platform, and individual coaching to enable attendees to apply the learning to their work.

This course provides flexibility and enables you to take part in an INTRAC course with others without travelling. The timing of the live sessions is 1pm GMT. Sessions are recorded and made available on our e-learning platform, so you can view them in your own time if you can’t join live.

Here is what previous course participants said:
