Sphere ToT graduates are invited to apply for listing in the international trainer database on Sphere’s main website. Sphere’s listed trainers must provide evidence that they meet a set of criteria, including that they have participated in a ToT programme, possess an excellent understanding of Sphere, and have experience of facilitating adult learning.
It is also important to recognise the hundreds of people that facilitate Sphere learning around the globe who are not listed in the central database. If you are looking for a Sphere trainer, please search the central database, but also contact your national (or regional) Sphere focal point(s) and/or contact the Sphere office at learning@spherestandards.org to help you identify unlisted trainers near you. (You may also consider trainers listed by other Humanitarian Standards Partnership partners.)
Congratulations to the following people who became listed Sphere trainers in 2023! We invite you to contact them directly if you would like to engage them for your upcoming courses or workshops.
Sphere would like to take this opportunity to thank all listed and unlisted, new and established Sphere facilitators around the world for their commitment and dedication!
