What Students are Saying About the Online Courses

“Tim. Keep up the good work. I am very grateful for the opportunity I was offered to join the valuable online course six years ago. Due to the assignments related to the course I got in contact with different institutions/NGO’s, communities and individuals. Since then I am involved in more community- based projects, especially with the focus on adaptation to climate change.”

“All the very best and please feel free to contact me if you need any assistance from me.” Usha Satnarain, MSc. Research-Assistant, Programme in Sustainable Management of Natural Resources. Suriname

Dear Tim,

I have already taken two previous online courses (Conflict Management and Gender and Development). None of these can compare to your course in terms of innovation and stimulation to action and reflection that develop learners’ competences. Another uniqueness about your course is the quality and quantity of the resources provided on the website. They are gold mines! I hope they will be available to the alumni after the training is over.

Dear Tim,

The online course From the Ground-Up is an absolute cracker. After undertaking the six week course, I was able to relate and transform community need into a project idea that could attract donor funding. The exercise of transforming goals into a simple logical framework (an obligation by donors) was particularly exhilarating and smooth. It was indeed an eye opener for me especially coming from an academic background in applied research where logical frameworks are uncommon.

I really appreciate the time you have taken to go through correcting assignments – it makes me appreciate how much time you must be investing in this course. I am very confident that all your labours are producing lots of learning and stimulation for your students.

Hi Tim

I really appreciate your comments on my homework project week 1. As you know, as a real beginner in project designing, without your project example template, I could never write even a single word by myself. The links on watsan you gave me were so helpful.
