Our Products & Services
As the frequency and complexity of humanitarian crises continue to rise, there is increasing demand for a highly skilled workforce capable of preparing for and responding more effectively and efficiently to disasters.

The Humanitarian Leadership Academy has developed a wide range of platforms, products and services to help such organisations.

Making HPass work for your organisation:
We host HPass, a separate platform essential for humanitarian staff, volunteers and recruiters, and providers of humanitarian learning and assessment services. HPass has two key elements, both of which integrate with Kaya.
Digital badging for humanitarians and organisations
This complements Kaya by enabling humanitarians to receive a badge, which they can store online on a publicly visible profile and share with employers and peers via a link, on social media or in an e-signature. Humanitarians maintain the same profile as they move between organisations and can accumulate evidence of their achievements throughout their careers.
Quality Standards for Humanitarian Learning and Assessment
The HPass Quality Standards are globally recognised standards developed by and for learning providers to support quality service delivery throughout the sector. Organisations can access and adopt the standards to ensure their learning and/or assessment provision meets best practice. Organisations can also become HPass Certified by passing an independent Quality Review which is internationally recognised within the sector.

“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
“We chose this platform [Kaya] for several reasons: the courses are created by humanitarian organisations who know the realities faced in the field, resources are easy to access and available in different languages – vital when considering the diverse backgrounds of our staff – and consultants can use CTG Learning without an internet connection once they’ve downloaded the courses onto the Kaya Mobile app. Whether it’s COVID-19 or Safeguarding, our teams now have these resources at their fingertips.”
Alice Laugher, CEO, Committed To Good
