Those working in community development who would either like to broaden their knowledge of the field and/or to achieve a formal qualification in the area, may be interested in applying for a place on the certificate course in project and community development run by the Local Development Training Institute (LDTI) in partnership with University College Dublin. The course aims to give students an opportunity to locate their experiences of community development and local projects within a broader social policy context.
