SHORT COURSES

Want to learn more, go deeper? These 40-hour certificate courses are designed for practitioners who are looking for a greater mastery of theory and practice but do not want a full academic degree or program of study.

Most short courses can be offered as a single 40-hour course surveying all units, or as a series of individual 40-hour modules going deeper into each unit. For modular courses, participants can choose to attend all or some of the modules. Faith-based and non-faith-based content is available. Contact us for details.

** Financial partners who are interested in funding course development or in sponsoring course fees for the anti-trafficking community are encouraged to contact us for details**
