Training

Supporting voluntary and community sector organisations and individuals to achieve their potential.

The Exeter CVS Learning Development Department provides services which enable voluntary and community sector organisations to effectively support and develop their staff and to build capacity.

Our varied learning programme includes workshops and accredited courses all planned and developed as a result of either suggestions or feedback received from learners.

We also have a learning support website aimed at those who have attended Exeter CVS learning opportunities. The site provides additional learning materials and other elements to enhance and compliment your overall learning experience. To find out more visit www.pea-pod.org.

Exeter CVS Learning Development Department also provides a consultancy service for voluntary and community sector organisations wishing to develop ‘in-house’ learning and development opportunities.
