Need Flexible, Personalised Training for Groups Working in Nutrition Cluster Activities?

The GNC Tailored Blended Learning for Groups programme offers flexible, tailored group training to address urgent knowledge gaps in a focused and practical way. It provides an introductory-level overview of key topics identified as priorities by groups involved in nutrition cluster activities. It implements a blended learning approach, combining self-paced online modules with interactive, instructor-led sessions, and accommodates up to 25 participants.

The Benefits of Our Blended Learning Approach

The GNC Tailored Blended Learning for Groups programme stands out for its flexibility and adaptability to the schedules and operational constraints of participants involved in nutrition cluster activities. It identifies and addresses each group’s specific needs, creating a personalised learning experience.

Participants may need an introduction to topics such as Cluster Coordination, or an in-depth exploration of themes like Fundamentals of Cluster Coordination within the Humanitarian Programme Cycle or Emergency Response Preparedness (ERP).

This blended learning approach combines self-paced eLearning via GNC Learn (available in English, French, and Spanish) with interactive, instructor-led virtual sessions that build on online learning, focus on practical application, and provide opportunities to engage directly with experts. 

Learners earn a certificate for each completed online module on GNC Learn. Upon completing all required modules and attending the instructor-led sessions, participants also receive a full programme certification.

This training is ideal for cluster teams, partners, and observers engaged in nutrition cluster activities. To ensure quality learning, group sizes are capped at 25 participants.

How the Blended Learning for Groups is Structured

The GNC Tailored Blended Learning for Groups programme begins with a launch session (up to 2 hours) to set goals, align expectations, and review logistical arrangements for the training. This includes creating an Agora account to access our eLearning platform, GNC Learn.

It is designed to accommodate the needs of participants with ongoing humanitarian responsibilities. It can include any modules from the GNC Learn catalogue, delivered through a personalised mix of:

• Self-paced online learning via GNC Learn, allowing participants to complete modules at their own convenience.

• Instructor-led virtual sessions that build on the online learning, offering opportunities to apply knowledge, discuss challenges, and ask questions.

While the exact duration varies based on group needs, the programme typically runs for four to six weeks, from the initial launch session to the final instructor-led session.
