The Curve

Digital skills training for the third sector. Live online workshops and on-demand courses on the things charity teams actually need, funded, so most of it costs you nothing.

Two ways to learn

Come to a live session and ask your own questions, or work through a course at your own pace. Most teams end up doing both.

Live

Online workshops

  • 90 minutes, online, small enough to ask questions
  • Led by someone who does this work for a living
  • Practical takeaways you can use the same week
  • Recording and slides sent to everyone who books
On demand

Self-paced courses

  • Short modules you can fit around the day job
  • Start, stop and come back where you left off
  • Templates and worksheets to use with your team
  • Certificate on completion, for your CPD record

Sessions are funded for third sector organisations. If your organisation can pay, paying keeps a free place open for one that cannot.

On-demand courses

Work through these whenever suits. Each one ends with something you can take to your team. [confirm final course list]

What you get at the end

Every course ends with a certificate you can put against your CPD, and every workshop sends you away with the slides, the recording and a worksheet. Funders recognise it, boards understand it, and your team can point at what they learned.

  • Certificate of completion for every on-demand course
  • Slides, recording and worksheet after every live session
  • Evidence you can use in funding reports [confirm]

Who you will learn from

Everyone teaching on The Curve does this work with charities the rest of the week.

Want it run just for your team?

We run any Curve session in-house, built around your organisation, your systems and the things your team is actually stuck on. Good for staff away days, board sessions and new starters.

Beyond the workshop

Training is often where a longer partnership starts.

Plenty of organisations come to us for a Curve session and stay for the wider support, from strategy to a new website. When you are ready, the same team is here for the next thing.

  • Senior digital people who know the sector
  • Strategy, brand, websites and marketing under one roof
  • Advice on tap as new questions come up
  • No hard sell, ever
