EDI Training Courses
Equality and Diversity Training Programmes
Through our suite of equality and diversity training courses, we have codified EDI as a field of professional and academic study.
Why Choose the Institute for Your Equality and Diversity Training?
Rooted in Equity and Social Justice
Our academic and professional courses are grounded in a multidimensional and intersectional understanding of equity, recognising that social justice is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but a dynamic process that requires critical engagement across race, gender, class, disability, sexuality, and other interlocking systems of power.
Our courses equip learners with theoretical knowledge and practical skills to challenge structural inequalities and drive transformative change in their communities and organisations.
Based on interdisciplinary scholarship and informed by lived experiences, our training courses encourage learners to critically examine how inequities are produced, maintained, and resisted within local, national and global contexts.
All of our courses are grounded in practice and informed by research.
Who Are Our Programmes Aimed At?
Whether you work in education, social work, public policy, community development, local government or the corporate sector, we offer pathways that connect academic inquiry with real-world impact.
We are committed to decolonising knowledge production and amplifying underrepresented voices, ensuring that learners engage with diverse perspectives and frameworks on their chosen course.
Our benchmark qualification: the EDI Fellowship © is a unique and structured strategic leadership development programme that improves the criticality, coherence and integrity of the work of EDI professionals.
The EDI Fellowship © is a trademark of the Institute for Equity, University Centre.
Our Professional Development Certificates, Level 7 Certificate, Level 7 Diplomas and MBA provide learners with knowledge, skills and tools to interrogate and support their organisations’ EDI work.
We also offer a range of workshops and short courses that can be delivered independently or via our Summer School.
We support organisations in translating legislative requirements into practice, aligning with national guidance on equality and inclusion.
