The Organization requires that all staff members take the courses listed in the first section below. In addition to these, other courses are required for certain groups of staff as laid out in the subsequent sections. These courses are accessible in various ways. Some are only available online through inspira, which is also the easiest way for tracking and recording completion of mandatory courses.  To register log into inspira, go to Main Menu – Self-service – Learning – My Learning.  

If you have already completed a mandatory learning course* via another website or in a UN agency, fund or programme, you may upload the certificate onto your inspira account via the Contact Us link by following the steps under the category e-learning enquiry – Management of content subcategory – and indicate in the free text area the description of the inspira course taken and that you wish to update your learning record (please ensure to list the inspira course name and LMS number) and then follow the procedure for attaching your certificate.
