UNODC offers a free online course introducing the Nelson Mandela Rules and their use in prison settings. It is a focused learning opportunity about the treatment of prisoners, not a general leadership fellowship.
What the opportunity provides
The self-paced course contains seven modules covering prison management and standards for treatment. Learners who successfully complete the final assessment can receive a certificate. Enrolling alone does not earn the credential.
Who can apply
The course is primarily intended for prison officers and other officials working in the prison system. Public self-registration is available through the learning platform, so interested learners can consult the enrolment page for account access.
How to apply
Follow the official public-course listing and select the Nelson Mandela Rules course. The linked route reaches the SPARK login page. Create or use an appropriate learner account through the provider and follow the course’s own completion instructions. Opportunities Feed does not register participants or issue the certificate.
Deadline
No application closing date is published. This is a self-paced online course; check the learning platform for current access before planning your study. It is separate from the UNSSC course on Nelson Mandela and social change.
