Training Courses

In the light of recent events and media stories it is more important than ever for the public and private sectors to understand the belief system of more than two million people in the UK i.e. Muslims. What makes them tick? Just how different are they? What is the difference between the Islamic belief and culture? Should we continue to rely on the media for our knowledge of Islam?

If your organisation employs Muslims you may wish to understand their needs better. For example the obligation to pray, fast and for women to wear a hijab.  Having an understanding of Islam will assist in the planning of services to all sections of the community. It will also assist in achieving diversity and community cohesion.

This practical course, led by an expert in the field, will give delegates a basic understanding of Islam and Muslims to help them do their job better. The aim will be  to help avoid stereotypes and allow constructive engagement with Muslims. The focus is not on theological debate but on sound practical information. No subject will be off limits; no question will be avoided.
