Training by role

Start from the job, not the subject.

The catalogue is arranged by field of practice, which is the right way to store it and the wrong way to search it when the question is what somebody in a particular job should do next. These pages assemble across fields, because the work does.

If your job is not on this list

These are 16 common roles, not every job there is. The full catalogue is searchable by subject, level, format and city, and an advisor will put a shortlist together from a description of the work rather than a job title.

For a team rather than a person, the programme builder starts from the capability gap instead.
