Training
Working for community led change is a journey full of highs and lows, joys and frustration, successes and challenges. Having a flourishing, strong group built on firm foundations is vital.
Drawing on years of experience from both inside and outside the Transition movement, our training is designed specifically for Transition groups and is full of useful resources, tools and practices to help your group start, thrive and grow.
Our current funding allows us to offer this training without a cost to attend at this time, though donations are welcome on a pay what you can basis, to help us extend our training and support for community climate action.
Launch
This short course is delivered online for anyone considering, or in the process of starting a new Transition group. The perfect way to find out more about the Transition movement, what makes our groups unique and will give you lots of practical tools and techniques to get started on a firm footing. Our next course will take place in three evening sessions in February 2025.
Scale Up
Scale Up is designed to support thriving Transition groups to significantly increase your impact. It’s a flexible, modular programme including funded mentoring support, an optional residential and peer learning sessions. It is a unique opportunity to deepen your work and increase your impact.

Thrive
This six week online course is for existing Transition groups and will support you to develop, grow and increase your impact. Perhaps you are facing challenges as a group, are struggling to attract new people, or would like to explore a new direction and focus. If so this is the perfect course for you. The course takes place over 6 weekly evening sessions.
To participate we ask that 2 or more members of your group sign up together, to ensure that learning can be embedded and shared within your group. Our next Thrive workshop will take place in February and March 2025.
Training for Trainers
Train The Trainers is an experiential training programme designed to train participants to devise and deliver training programmes that will support Transition Groups, the Transition Movement more broadly, and other Transition-adjacent projects.
The training focuses around two key existing Transition Programmes – Launch and Thrive – and the building blocks and methodologies used to design inclusive, accessible and engaging trainings that have immediate and long-term positive impact.
As part of this programme, participants will learn how to deliver these two key training programmes, practise leading activities, and deliver sections of these programmes live on one of our courses in early 2025. Read more about the programme here and sign up below.
