MSC’s Helix Institute was founded in November 2013 and offers superior training based on quality data and MSC’s latest expertise and knowledge. The institute’s mission is to provide relevant, contextual knowledge and practice-backed insights through training courses and workshops to stakeholders in the development sector. We have trained professionals, such as financial service providers, mobile network operators, policymakers, regulators, donors, investors, development partners, and end-users. 

Our training methods are backed by decades of practical experience. Owing to our years of consulting practice, we bring rich data and insights with relevant case studies and examples in our courses. Our courses embed learning elements by doing, action planning, and technical assistance. Each training program designed and delivered at the Helix Institute is based on adult learning principles to create an effective learning environment. 

The Helix Institute delivers training courses in three broad ways: 

• Classroom training: Our classroom training focuses on active, small-group methods, practical case studies, teamwork, and exchanges between participants. They usually last three to five days.
• E-learning training: Our e-learning course enables capacity building through practical examples and case studies. The approach accommodates learners’ needs and offers them the freedom to complete the course in their own time and space.
• Digital institutional training: We offer facilitated learning sessions spread over one to six weeks through digital platforms, such as Zoom, or similar platforms.

Over the years, the Helix has trained more than 12,000 people drawn from over 1,500 organizations that serve more than 1 billion people across the globe. Our trainees drive real and positive changes within their organizations.
