The external consultancy stream 'The ECRI Academy' offers external institutions/organisations 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.

External Institutions and Organisations will be charged a fee for engaging in the programme and they can request ECRI to: 

  • design and deliver a range of bespoke learning and development opportunities for their stakeholder groups. 
  • deliver existing “off-the-shelf” courses for their stakeholder groups. 
  • Individuals looking to access ECRI’s learning and development opportunities, can do so by viewing our current courses available on Coursera.
