If you are a United Nations staff member with an index number that you use to access Inspira, you are eligible to take courses for free - and only need to pay for any required course materials.

"External" refers to everyone outside the global UN Secretariat who is eligible to take our courses, including UNVs; staff/delegates from Permanent Missions and AFPs; spouses; and retirees.

Spouses who need a United Nations grounds pass ("UN pass") will need to follow these instructions.
