ALIGHT provides faculty leader certification and training for educational organizations, corporations, and non-governmental organizations. Training is provided for both individuals and organizations. We use a standardized curriculum with high program standards and help develop strong successful partnerships.

Our training and certification goals are:

1. Empowering schools of nursing to create ethical, evidence-based global service-learning programs for credit toward major.
2. Standardization of global nursing programs along with training/certification for leaders.
3. Promotion of evidence-based global nursing practice through measurement of outcomes on partner communities, students, and institutions.

Certification Options and Training Schedule

Program leaders first become certified by completing an on-line module. They then move progress to the on-site final training at either St. George's University or Cabrillo College.

On-site trainings will take place every January at St. George's University in Grenada and every June at Cabrillo College, Aptos, California.

There is a certification option for educators and one for service organizations.
