SROI Training
"I just want to say what a fantastic course, it was challenging, but very informative. For me, as a non financial type thinking person your teaching method was easy to understand and get to grips with."

About the course
- nef consulting’s SROI training is facilitated by two SROI practitioners, and counts towards accreditation as an SROI-network assured practitioner
- It covers all of the methodology and practice needed to carry out an SROI analysis. It combines a thorough understanding of the theoretical policy background to SROI and its long-term benefits, with a step by step guide to the SROI methodology backed up by a range of practical group exercises.
- It is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to utilise SROI and its findings, and to undertake SROI analyses for themselves.
- It draws on the extensive SROI experience of a large team of SROI practitioners based at nef, and incorporates learnings from nef's Centre for Well-being and Sustainable Commissioning work. nef also co-wrote the Cabinet Office Guide to SROI.
- We offer a series of follow-up SROI Masterclasses to build the skills of practitioners
- All attendees are offered half an hour's free post-training telephone consultancy to guide them though their first SROI analysis
- Larger, reduced rate consultancy packages are also exclusively available to attendees
Our upcoming training sessions are below. All sessions run from 9.30 to 17.00.
