In addition to its online, accredited, Participatory Disaster Risk Management (PDRM) program, TorqAid offers seven Short Courses (SCs). The link to this program is given below.
DownloadThe seven SCs on offer are:
SC1: The Disaster Risk Management Cycle (DRMC) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) diagrams, and their application to to a combination of floods and tropical storms; earthquakes and tsunamis; and drought
SC2: Australian bushfires, and psychosocial stress related to disasters
SC3: The Rohingya humanitarian situation in Bangladesh
SC4: The Ten Seed Technique (TST) as a fabulous, practical, ranking tool
SC5: Covid-19 and Risk Management
SC6: The DRR diagram and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
SC7: Aspirations for, and challenges of, positive progress this year relating to Climate Change
These SCs are designed for a combination of stakeholders, principally global or Australian humanitarian/development practitioners, and secondary/tertiary students. Sessions can be delivered either as one hour online (eg Zoom) training sessions, or, social distancing requirements notwithstanding, as one hour face-to-face lessons.
