Welcome to the website of the England Standards Board for Community Development Training and Qualifications. Known as the ESB for short!  Map of regions

 

The ESB has been developed by community workers and training providers, to provide a way of ensuring and recognising quality community development work learning programmes.

This is particularly important as there are often training courses advertised as suitable for community development activists and workers which are not at all related to the key purpose of community development work (click here to see the key purpose). 


ESB is recognised by LLUK (Lifelong Learning UK) as the endorsing body for all Community Development Work Learning.

 

We provide a peer based endorsement process for Community Development Work learning - courses and work based programmes – at all levels. We endorse accredited and non-accredited programmes.
