Which course to raise your skills, lift your results?
Our training diary is more than just a run through donorflex, module by module, or a repeat of what you can read in the help guide. That approach would teach you what buttons to press, but not how to make the most of the system.
Instead, our training takes you into the heart of donorflex to show you how and why combining your use of various modules will turn your inspiration, ideas and energy into results.
Below, you'll find a summary of our most popular courses. There's something for everyone. Simply decide which source of insight and information is right for you and your colleagues and the causes that depend on you then click the link to the booking form that you'll find in each section.
By booking, you'll be deemed to have accepted our Terms & Conditions (click to read). If you want to book training, please click the Courses and bookings link on the Client menu.

Ease yourself into donorflex
It's a fact of third-sector life that roles and faces often change within your organisation when you can least do with it.
It leaves your new colleague needing to become familiar with the team member that knows the majority of answers and never has a day off – donorflex.
The increasing popularity of events like Midnight Walks and gala balls presents you with a big chance to raise funds and spread the word but the workload can be huge, and the margin for error non-existent.
Your first task is to cover the cost of staging the event. The next is to make it such a success that your supporters will want to come back, year after year.
donorflex understands that running a successful fundraising operation is about far more than maintaining a database of individual donors, important though they undoubtedly are.
More and more organisations look to major donors and trusts for support, particularly with high-profile campaigns and capital projects. Winning their confidence and backing takes hours of meticulous research and planning, because understanding the rhythm and detail of their corporate and trust processes is an absolutely essential part of your path to success.
This is where the true power of donorflex comes into its own.
The reason we speak so much about your data policy, and the discipline and consistency with which it's followed, is because we know two simple facts good data is worth its weight in gold, unreliable data is worth nothing. And we don't need to go any further than Gift Aid to underline that.
There's a growing appetite for Care Data Systems to provide users with the chance to sharpen their skills when it comes to importing and exporting data with donorflex.
Since we decided to test the water by pencilling in a three-hour modular training course, we've seen demand for places grow and grow.
There are so many reasons to make the Art of communications course the next date on your diary. Let's consider them.
For many supporters, the right personalised thank-you letter dropping on to their doormat, or the timely reminder arriving in their e-mail inbox, is the best way to show your gratitude and professionalism. The Communications module can manage the entire process – which means it's worth its weight in gold.
Our free donorflex overview course is designed to increase awareness among your users – whether they're new to the organisation or just the role – of what the database is capable of doing for your mission.
We look at the full scope of functionality in a course that's particularly pertinent when it coincides with new releases.
We don't set dates for the overview course but organise them according to client request, with a minimum of three and maximum of six delegates.
If you'd like to put yourself or colleagues forward for the next course, which is not a hands-on session, please contact Irena Bragg via the General enquiries option in Contact Us.
