ECRI's external Academy work offers external companies, institutions, partner organisations and Imperial departments hosting training where the participants are not principally Imperial-based ECRs (such as Postgraduate Taught or undergraduate groups), the opportunity to employ our services and expertise in supporting the learning and development for their stakeholders groups.  We also offer some training opportunities for external individuals. 

All external Academy work will be charged a fee for engaging in the programme and can request ECRI to provide: 

  • Off-the-Shelf & Bespoke Tiers: Available for external deployment at standard external rates.
  • Train the Trainer & Individual Support: Scalable instructional packages or targeted individual development opportunities, such as professional coaching.
  • External Individuals: Can request to reserve places on our regular scheduled ECRI provision, where logistically feasible by emailing Kelly Hayes, Coordinator (ECRI Academy).  They can also access ECRI’s learning and development opportunities, by viewing our current courses available on Coursera.
