Transformative Leadership Education Programs


The Coady Institute’s educational programming includes campus-based programs, in-country training with partners, and advanced offerings in a Masters in Adult Education, in partnership with StFX.

Campus-based programs include a five-month Diploma in Development Leadership as well as specialized certificates that allow participants to gain a deep understanding of a particular area and share innovations, best practice, tools and knowledge.  The programs are aimed at practitioners who will apply what they learn at home in their organizations and communities and act as multiplier and mentors for others.

Fees and Scholarship Opportunities

The Coady's on-campus program fees include the cost of tuition, accommodation and meals. Thanks to the generous financial support of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), as well as number of individual and institutional donors, we are able to offer a range of full and partial scholarships.  Special efforts are made to enable women and aboriginal peoples to attend.  Candidates are fully responsible for covering the cost of their own travel.
