Welcome to CADUS Training

Facing crises – together, in solidarity and well prepared

Since the early days of CADUS, knowledge transfer and practical training have been a central part of our work. Education and training have been at the heart of CADUS’ work since its foundation. Training of all kinds is a central aspect in international crisis areas as well as in local contexts.

Whether in international crisis areas or in the local environment – our goal is to be able to act and to enable others to do the same. From emergency medical aid, technical solutions and logistics to security strategies and solidarity-based crisis preparedness: our training courses are as diverse as our missions. CADUS training courses are currently in a phase of further development and professionalization.

We are expanding our offering, developing new formats and creating long-term structures – with the aim of making our content even more accessible, effective and sustainable. The core remains the same: practical, solidary and empowering.

Our training courses combine medical expertise, technical skills, strategic thinking and political reflection. Whether first aid in crisis situations, technical self-help, resilient communication structures or dealing with psychological stress – we are guided by real challenges: from our deployments, from the experiences and needs of our communities.

You can read about how we implement our training in action in our blog, using Ukraine as an example.

Current trainings

Here you will find an overview of our current training formats. As many things are under construction and in motion, new content and structures are constantly being added – it’s worth taking a regular look!

Our HEAT (Hostile Environment Awareness Training) prepares all those who want to go into action for us for work in unstable and dangerous regions. If capacity is available, the training is also open to external persons.

The role of a Head of Mission (HoM) is one of the most challenging but also most important positions in humanitarian aid. Our training program provides future CADUS HoMs with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to operate effectively in challenging situations.

At CADUS, we see training as an essential part of our work – not only to impart knowledge, but also to strengthen capacities on the ground. Our infield training courses are practice-oriented and tailored to the real challenges in crisis regions. They offer participants the opportunity to learn and apply skills and abilities directly on site.

Our vision: A CADUS training center

Solidarity: We believe that we can only face crises collectively and well prepared. That is why we are planning to set up our own CADUS training center – a place for practical learning, transdisciplinary exchange and solidarity-based networking. A space where people can meet, share skills and develop new perspectives. We are building it step by step – with your support.
