• Volunteering is truly remarkable. It offers the opportunity to help others, learn new skills, and experience personal and professional growth. Many volunteers are trained in specialised areas such as board membership, health, radio presenting, play leading, or volunteer co-ordination. If you are seeking to work with volunteers, work for a charity, volunteer yourself and engage in online learning, you have come to the right place. Many groups and charities are also in search of quality resources and funding to support their activities and volunteers. While some organisations have developed their own training platforms, there are still areas of knowledge that remain unaddressed.

• Training is of utmost importance as it provides staff and volunteers with the opportunity to expand their knowledge base and enhance their skills, making them more effective in supporting others and achieving personal goals. Despite the associated costs, the return on investment from consistent training is immense. To meet the sector's needs, we have launched the www.thirdsectortraining.com website, aiming to provide comprehensive information supported by existing and new online resources. 

• Here, you will find numerous training courses designed to better prepare you for your role as a volunteer or charity worker. Explore how to aid others, support yourself, and transform your volunteer opportunity into a long-lasting career. Alternatively, you can enjoy online training to make a difference in your career. We strive to keep our courses affordable and accessible to everyone interested in exploring the world of volunteering. We believe you deserve the best and have developed some of the finest and reasonably priced courses that we believe may transform your life and change your future for the better. Take a moment to delve into the world of training, volunteering and work for the third sector, where you can acquire the skills you've always dreamed of.

• At Third Sector Training, all of our e-learning courses are accessible through the Third Sector Academy learning platform. At TST we believe in the power of education to drive positive change and empower individuals and organisations within the third sector and beyond. Third Sector Academy is a leading platform for volunteers and third sector professionals, offering online learning and professional development worldwide. Our e-learning platform offers a diverse range of courses designed to equip learners with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to thrive in the dynamic landscape of the third sector. 

Finally, we extend a heartfelt thank you to all our hardworking colleagues in other sector bodies, with whom the Third Sector has closely collaborated across the world. We also express our gratitude to our members and charities as a whole. At a time when charities are facing immense challenges and uncertainties about their own futures, and are even more concerned about the people and causes they support on a daily basis, they have stepped up to help more individuals than ever through their selfless and altruistic actions.

We strongly believe that every volunteer or Third Sector worker should have the opportunity to be part of a Community of Learning and to further develop their skills. This can be achieved by joining our training programmes.

We are a Community of Interest - a group of individuals who share a common passion for:

• Volunteering 

• Training

We aspire for you to learn, achieve success, and in turn, help others do the same. Are we asking for too much? Oh, there is one more thing.

Sharing knowledge is important, so please inform your friends and family about your plans to volunteer and this website!
