ECRI’s primary stakeholders can engage with ECRI’s Cohort Delivery Programme free of charge and can request ECRI to: 

• Deliver existing “off-the-shelf” courses for a ‘cohort closed’ group. 
• Request ‘Cohort Block Booking(s)’ – available for smaller cohort groups wanting to reserve places on ECRI’s regular scheduled provision for ECRs. This process is open to book anytime.   
• Postgraduate Taught level Course Organisers may use the cohort delivery process to book their students onto the following courses, which are still a part of our ECRI offer for master’s level students: Preparing a PhD Proposal, Stepping Up: Masters to PhD.  These courses have been specifically designed to support the transition into Research.
