LINGOs provides International NGOs access to world-class learning that is appropriate, accessible and affordable.  For the price of little more than one or two international trips, international NGOs can access learning resources via one of LINGOs’ three membership levels:

Enterprise level Membership is designed for international NGOs whose work is managed via a global confederation and who would like the convenience and efficiency of managing their LINGOs resources through a single membership. 

Level 2 Membership is designed for any-size international organization who would like to access LINGOs learning resources, while retaining the option to brand their learning portal, generate customized reports, and align their learning systems with other internal systems. 

Level 1 Membership is appropriate for small international NGO who wish to access LINGOs’ learning courses through a shared learning portal which does not allow for agency-specific branding, customized reports, or alignment with other systems.

 * Membership to LINGOs is available to non-governmental organizations whose primary mission to promote international development, relief, conservation or social justice in three or more countries.  Supporting organizations, such as foundations and multi-lateral institutions, may be eligible for a custom-package of services.
