Build practical skills that go beyond measurement.
The Accredited Social Value & SROI Practitioner Training has been delivered internationally for more than a decade, helping thousands of professionals and organisations strengthen their Impact Measurement & Management (IMM) capabilities.
Grounded in the internationally recognised Principles of Social Value and established SROI practice, this programme combines proven methodology with practical application, enabling participants to understand, measure, manage and communicate the value created through their programmes, projects and investments.

Practical and Interactive Learning
This programme is built around active participation and real-world application. Through facilitated discussions, practical exercises, case studies and peer learning, you'll work alongside experienced practitioners to apply internationally recognised approaches to real organisational challenges.
