Global Standards

We have developed sets of global standards which supply criteria to measure the quality of learning, in consultation with learning and assessment providers from all over the world. We have designed them for organisations, companies, departments and institutes who provide learning services to anyone involved in humanitarian action.

If you meet these standards, you are contributing to the overall commitment that people involved in humanitarian action will have access to high-quality learning programmes that will allow them to work more effectively.

What our pilot participants say:

BIOFORCE

“HPass certification is important to us because it is an expression of the common tools that the humanitarian sector needs in terms of capacity building. It is the very first tool where the humanitarian community has agreed on quality standards in learning and skills assessment.”

Anne Rieu, Bioforce

Violet Syria Logo

“HPass is a chance to enhance the quality of the learning we deliver by complying with the Humanitarian Learning Standards. It would also allow Violet to become a role model in volunteer response in emergencies and youth and young women capacity building. ”

Alaa Albakour, Violet Organization

kalu institute

“I didn’t know anything about badging. The pilot opened my eyes to the possibilities for the company I work for. We are now discussing ways of implementing it that we didn’t imagine before.”

Kalu Institute, Spain

world vision

“Our organisation is exploring Open Badges as a means of capturing information about the learning that has been done within and outside of our organisation.  We are looking to use this information to tailor relevant staff development, talent management and job execution opportunities for our staff. To help us recognise and use the learning content that might be available outside of our organisation and use it to the benefit of our organisation – widening our content resources and capitalising on industry efforts to ensure that there are consistent capabilities.”

Kim Lymn, World Vision (Early Adopter badge)

HUMANITARIAN_DISASTER_AND_RESPONSE

“Humanitarian U is hoping to be able to issue badges to learners who have taken our online and face-to-face training programs.  We are also excited to contribute to and be a part of this community of training providers with high quality, standardized, competency-based programs.”

Kirsten Johnson, Humanitarian U (Early Adopter badge)

IAWGlogo

“I thought this was an immensely helpful process. Thank you for allowing my organisation to participate!”

Alison Greer, Advisor/Manager, WRC: Inter-agency Working Group on Reproductive Health in Crises

NORWEGIAN_CAPACITY

“It is great to see so many participating organisations who have taken on this challenge to develop a baseline and improve quality standards in learning and assessment across the sector.”
