Below are instructions on how to organise an in-person LEGS Core Training Course, including a list of everything you will need.
Who is the LEGS Core Training for?
The LEGS Core Training is designed to build the capacity of both livestock experts and humanitarian specialists involved in planning and implementing livestock-based emergency responses. The LEGS approach and LEGS Core Training enable these groups to work together to design timely and appropriate interventions.
How can I organise a LEGS Core Training: In-person course?
The LEGS Core Training materials are designed for accredited LEGS Trainers to deliver in-person courses and workshops, but they are also useful for individual study. The package includes three days’ worth of structured content and is flexible in design – allowing it to be delivered as a full course, reformulated for shorter workshops, or integrated into broader initiatives such as humanitarian or veterinary degree programmes.
Interested organisations can commission a LEGS Core Training course from any accredited LEGS Trainers in their country or region. LEGS Trainers have completed the TOT, and are equipped with the proper skills, methods and training materials.
If there is no one from your country listed, please contact LEGS who can put you in touch with local LEGS Trainers who have not yet been accredited. Only LEGS Trainers are authorised to deliver an accredited LEGS Core Training.
Are you planning a LEGS Core Training course?
Please contact LEGS if you would like to further information on how to organise either an in-person or online course. LEGS cannot provide funding for any Core Training courses, but we are happy to provide advice, information and guidance.
What do I need for a LEGS Core Training: In-person course?
To organise a LEGS Core Training course, you will need the following:
- A LEGS Trainer: If the LEGS Trainer is employed, you may be able to come to an arrangement with his/her employer for their time. If he/she is a consultant, you will need to pay their daily fee rate.
- Copies of the LEGS Handbook: You must have a copy for each participant. Hardcopy handbooks are available for purchase from the publisher; they are also available in bulk. Alternatively you can print out copies using the free pdf version.
- Handouts: The LEGS Trainer will provide training handouts and other materials.
- A suitable venue: LEGS recommends a maximum of 24 participants for participatory training, and a room that allows movement for group work, exercises and energisers.
