Education

KIT carries out research, advisory work, policy development and tools development with partner institutes for postgraduate education. We place particular emphasis on human resources planning, retention and motivation of the workforce, training needs analysis, curriculum development and quality assurance of training.

We offer a wide range of training programmes at our training centre in Amsterdam and we respond to requests for specific training courses, tailored to clients' needs and offered in-country. Clients include education and research institutes, NGOs and local or national governments and ministries.

  • Development of training programmes

    Training institutes are facing growing demands to deliver high quality, in-service and postgraduate training programmes in a cost effective way. Better management of training activities and an orientation to the market and to the demands of trainees and employers are requirements to survive.

  • Institutional strengthening for health training institutes

    Training institutions such as public health schools, medical faculties, paramedical schools and management training institutes are responsible for equipping service providers with the competencies they need to provide quality health services.

  • Short courses and master's programmes

  • Virtual learning

    KIT organizes and facilitates Virtual Learning Communities (VLCs) and is pursuing partnerships with universities and training institutions in the South to jointly develop VLCs on various topics.
