The training, resources, and support available here draw on the experience and expertise of Ireland's Community Sponsorship programme. Designed for hosts and sponsorship groups, this training helps prepare people to welcome refugee families to Ireland and highlights the importance of building a strong support network. The Interactive Learning Centre provides access to the formal Community Sponsorship Training Programme as groups prepare for a family's arrival.
The Community Sponsorship Training Programme was developed with input from Regional Support Organisations (RSOs), training specialists, and programme participants. It provides free, standard training that all Community Sponsorship Groups (CSGs) must complete before they can welcome a refugee family to their community.
The programme consists of four modules, and you can also download a course overview. To begin, click Login/Register to access the learning platform. If you are logging in for the first time, select Sign Up below the username and password fields to create an account.
