The EREBB Leadership Certificate is an international online course developed by Edmund Rice Education Beyond Borders (EREBB), Edmund Rice Schools Trust (ERST) Ireland, and Marino Institute of Education (MIE). The course has been developed to support teachers, educators, leaders and those aspiring to leadership in Edmund Rice schools and educational communities to become advocates and proponents of inclusive and liberating education practices. It is an interactive, 20-hour course which participants can complete in their own time during a semester.

The course is offered twice over the academic year (September – January and January – May). Since the programme began in 2017 there are over 100 graduates from the Edmund Rice global network from Australia, America, Canada, India, Ireland, Kenya, Northern Ireland, Peru, South Africa, Tanzania and Uruguay.

The cost of the programme is €150 and a certificate is awarded upon completion. A limited number of full scholarships are available to participants from the Developing World.  Click here for the scholarship form.

The programme offers the opportunity to connect with the global Edmund Rice Network and discuss insights and challenges together on various discussion fora throughout the programme related to Edmund Rice educational values, social justice and advocacy and spiritual leadership.
