The course is accredited by Social Value International and the CPD Certification Service and is delivered by a Social Value International accredited trainer.

Social Value and SROI Practitioner Training is designed to give you the knowledge and tools necessary to measure and maximise the social value of your activities. Whether you’re a public body getting to grips with the Social Value Act, a charity measuring your impact and improving your services, or a private business looking at your triple bottom line, this course can help you.

What Attendees Say

“This course was eye-opening, enlightening, and felt very real-world, because of both the mix of Adam’s real-world experience over time, and also from the mix of people in the room – all coming with different experiences and angles on social value in their work. As well as defining the theory and technical aspects of SROIs, the course felt very “here and now” to equip me with skills, knowledge and confidence to get out there and start practising straightaway!”

“A superb course with clearly structured content that gradually built the ‘picture’ of how to carry out a full SROI. Great supporting resources on the SVUK website too. Adam is a fantastic tutor with a perfect blend of knowledge, awareness of group dynamics and a warm and engaging personality. Lots of extra resources (such as examples of great SROI’s) that ensure participants can carry on with their SROI journey post course. Definitely the best online course experience I’ve had (and online courses are pretty tricky to delivery well in my experience!)”

“The training was delivered really well. Adam is obviously very experienced in SROI and was able to answer all questions from participants. I would’ve liked more time for the group discussions, sometimes 10/15 minutes wasn’t long enough to talk through the question/topic. I really liked the scheduling of the sessions – 5 hours on 5 days worked really well for concentration levels. I found Adam using real life examples of projects he’s worked on really useful as it helped explain social value concepts and the SROI calculations clearly. Thank you for a great course – I learnt a lot!”
