Mango's core courses are described on the course outlines page. Each course is designed to meet the needs of different groups of NGO staff - some for financial staff, some for managers. More detailed course outlines for each of our core courses are available on request.

The core courses are delivered regularly throughout the year. See the course calendar for an up to date schedule of dates and venues.

Thanks to generous support from our donors, we are able to offer a limited number of bursaries to poorly-resourced NGOs on our FM1 and FM2 events held outside of the UK.

Bursaries are available to local NGOs based in developing countries to cover a percentage of the Mango course fee. Bursaries are not available to cover the cost of food & accommodation or travel and in all cases we require applicant NGOs to make a contribution to the course fee.

All Mango's trainers have practical experience of financial management in the field. They can relate directly to the issues that participants raise. They also have professional experience in training and regularly adapt and review Mango's courses in line with participants' suggestions.

Many NGO staff are apprehensive about financial matters. People often lack the confidence to get to grips with financial management as part of their day-to-day work. Some also find the technical language of accountancy intimidating and inaccessible.

Mango's response is to create a supportive and participative learning environment which:

• provides training which is personal, practical and participatory,
• encourages participants to share experiences and challenges,
• provides an opportunity to practice tools and techniques for use in the workplace,
• uses plain language to de-mystify jargon.

We limit the size of our training groups. This allows us to adapt the content of each course to the needs of each group and address the specific concerns of individual participants.

This approach means that course participants quickly gain confidence and skills that help them to do their jobs more efficiently and effectively.
